Total Hip Replacement
Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients suffering from severe hip joint damage. During the procedure, the damaged parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial components, allowing smoother movement and reducing discomfort.
This surgery is commonly recommended for patients with advanced arthritis, hip fractures, or other long-term joint conditions that do not improve with medications or therapy. Most patients experience better movement, reduced pain, and improved quality of life after recovery.
Benefits for Patients
- Relief from chronic hip pain

- Support for a more active and independent lifestyle
- Long-term mobility improvement
