Hip replacement is one of the most successful operations to treat painful hip osteoarthritis. Initially, osteoarthritis can be treated conservatively, i.e. without surgery. The use of an artificial hip joint is considered depending on the level of suffering (intensity of pain) and limitation of mobility, as well as the patient’s quality of life. Now considered a routine operation, this mostly painless procedure can restore the original mechanism of the hip joint, meaning that, for the patient, the artificial joint feels similar to a natural one.
