Conventional Total Hip Replacement is a very successful procedure for the treatment of Hip Arthritis.

The purpose of total hip replacement is to remove the two damaged and worn parts of the hip joint – the hip socket (acetabulum) and the ball (femoral head) – and replace them with smooth, artificial implants called prostheses, which will help make the hip strong, stable, and flexible again.

For younger, more active people needing a hip replacement there is a high chance that a traditional hip replacement will wear out during their lifetime and need to be replaced again – a second replacement (revision) is much more difficult and consequently may last a shorter time than the original replacement.
