The hip joint is made up of two bones, the pelvis and the femur and is known as a ball and socket joint that allows the upper leg to move front to back and side to side. The ball is actually the head or rounded end of the femur bone that fits snugly in the concave depression known as the socket. The joint is the largest weight bearing joint in the body and is surrounded by strong ligaments and muscle.

If your hip has been damaged by arthritis, a fracture, or other condition, common activities such as walking or getting in and out of a chair may be painful and difficult. A hip replacement surgery will help by replacing the diseased and damaged portions of the hip with implants designed to restore the function and mobility to the hip joint. Hip replacement surgery is a safe and effective way to help relieve pain, increase range of motion, and help you get back to enjoying your life and everyday activities.
