Abstract

Hip replacement surgery, or total hip arthroplasty (THA), is a transformative procedure that addresses severe hip joint conditions such as osteoarthritis and traumatic injuries. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of THA, focusing on its indications, surgical techniques, and advancements in implant technology. Recent studies demonstrate that over 90% of patients experience significant pain relief and functional improvement within six months post-surgery, with high satisfaction rates. The longevity of modern implants, now often exceeding 15 years, underscores the success of innovations in materials and surgical practices. However, challenges remain, including disparities in access to care and the importance of effective postoperative rehabilitation. This discussion emphasizes the need for proper patient selection, education, and ongoing research to enhance the outcomes of hip replacement surgery. Ultimately, THA not only alleviates pain but also significantly improves the quality of life, enabling individuals to regain mobility and independence.
