A hip replacement is a surgical procedure that is completed by a healthcare professional with the goal of removing damaged sections of the hip joint, and replacing them with foreign parts that are usually created from metal and/or very hard plastic to create an artificial joint. The artificial joint will ultimately result in decreased pain and improvement of function for the individual involved. An individual may be a candidate for a hip replacement if the pain experienced interferes with their daily routines and activities they are expected and want to perform, only though after less invasive treatments have been deemed unsuccessful. Damage to the hip joint from arthritis is the most common reason that one may need a hip replacement.
