HIP SURGERY, WHETHER ARTHROSCOPY OR COMPLETE HIP REPLACEMENT, IS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS UNDERLYING HIP JOINT PROBLEMS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO PAIN AND FUNCTIONAL LIMITATIONS.
In the case of a complete hip replacement, the surgery removes damaged bone and cartilage and replaces them with artificial components designed to replicate the function of the natural hip joint.
This correction often results in significant pain relief, improved range of motion, and improved stability, allowing for more fluid movement in everyday activities and sports.
Similarly, hip arthroscopy can relieve pressure on the joint by repairing or removing damaged tissue, which may relieve pain caused by conditions such as ruptures or injury to the labral bone.
After recovery, many patients report a marked improvement in their ability to participate in the activities they enjoy, along with a reduction in dependence on painkillers.
However, it is important to note that outcomes can vary, and while most patients experience significant benefits, some may still have limitations depending on the underlying condition, age and general health.
