Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which an orthopaedic surgeon eliminates the severely damaged hip parts and replaces them with artificial implants made from metal or plastic. Normally, hip replacement is the final treatment option for arthritis carried out under anesthesia.

During the procedure, the surgeon prepares the surface of the hip bone by removing the inflamed/diseased cartilage and later on attaching the replacement socket portion to the hipbone.
