Hip Replacement

During hip replacement, Dr. Satvir removes the damaged sections of your hip joint and replaces them with parts usually constructed of metal, ceramic and very hard special poly. This artificial joint (prosthesis) helps reduce pain and improve function. Also called total hip arthroplasty, hip replacement surgery might be an option for you if your hip pain interferes with daily activities and nonsurgical treatments haven't helped or are no longer effective. Arthritis damage is the most common reason to need hip replacement.
