"You may need hip replacement surgery if you have severe hip discomfort, loss of mobility, or deformity that prevents you from doing your everyday activities and non-operative treatments have not provided the required outcomes.
A prosthesis, a device that replaces a joint, is used to replace the painful damaged hip parts during a total hip replacement surgery. The socket, ball, and stem of the prosthesis are made of metal.
