Why Hip Replacement Surgery is Done?

The cartilage surrounding the bones of the hip joint and the bones themselves get damaged due to arthritis. Arthritis is a progressive condition that interferes with the functioning of the joint as it deteriorates owing to day-to-day wear and tear.

Conditions that can damage the hip joint, sometimes making hip replacement surgery necessary, include:

• Osteoarthritis of the hip joint, or infectious arthritis, is the most common cause of damage to the hip joint. This type of arthritis damages the smooth cartilage that covers the bones of the hip joint and helps in its smooth movement. Osteoarthritis is also known as wear and tear arthritis.
• Osteonecrosis: The hip joint may not get enough blood supply owing to a fracture, injury, or dislocation. When this happens, the ball and socket portion of the joint may deform and collapse, resulting in osteonecrosis.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune disorder in which the immune system becomes overactive and produces antibodies against the body’s own cells, especially the cells of the joint cartilage and bones. This causes inflammation that destroys the hip joint cartilage and surrounding bones, resulting in deformed and damaged hip joints.
