The main reason people have hip replacement surgery and the major benefit of the procedure is the ability to walk and move without chronic and excruciating pain. Many times it is the grating bone-on- bone pain of osteoarthritis that leads people to investigate the possibility of a total hip replacement procedure. As the cartilage that cushions the bone of the hip joint wears away, each weight bearing step becomes very painful. The total hip replacement procedure removes the diseased bone and cartilage that creates the ball and socket joint. In most cases the ball of the joint at the head of the femur is replaced with the metal or ceramic ball. The socket is replaced with a plastic or ceramic cup. The construction works much like a natural, non- diseased hip joint.
HIP-REPLACE

Mostly the people report that their joint pain was either significantly reduced or completely eliminated. They say that their new hip joint feels completely normal. After recovering from a total him replacement, many people resume the activity and hobbies they had before hip pain interfered. They enjoy biking, hiking, swimming, golf and other activities, again. Being able to move with less pain is a definite benefit of the hip replacement surgery.
Being active also results in long term secondary benefits of the procedure. People who have total hip replacement surgery had a reduced risk of heart failure, depression and diabetics compared to those people who suffered from hip pain but opted not to have the surgery.
Depending upon whether you have posterior or anterior hip replacement, your surgeon may give you several movement restrictions for the first few months just to help you to avoid dislocating your new hip after surgery.
  • You should not cross your legs after posterior hip replacement surgery.
  • You should not bend your hip more than 90 degree. Generally if your knees are below you hip joint you are in safe position.
  • If you had anterior hip replacement you should avoid bending backward, turning your foot out, lying on your stomach, extending the operative leg behind you.
