Hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) is surgery to replace a worn out or damaged hip joint. The surgeon replaces the old joint with an artificial joint (prosthesis). This surgery may be a choice after a hip fracture or for severe pain because of arthritis.

During total knee replacement surgery, your damaged knee joint is replaced with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis. This surgery almost always reduces joint pain and improves your quality of life.

Your knees and hips are among the most complex joints in the human body, relying on bones, cartilage, ligaments, and the corresponding muscles to work in tandem. However, when injury or disease disrupts the normal function of the knee or hip joint, it results in pain and limited range of motion, which affects your ability to perform your daily activities.
