JOINT PROSTHESIS AND TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT

Joint prosthesis refers to artificial devices designed to replace damaged or diseased joints, restoring mobility and reducing pain. Total hip replacement (THR) is a type of joint prosthesis specifically designed to replace the hip joint. In THR, both the acetabulum (hip socket) and the femoral head (ball) are replaced with durable materials, often titanium or ceramics. This procedure is commonly performed in patients with severe arthritis or hip fractures to improve quality of life by relieving pain, enhancing joint function, and restoring normal movement.
