Hip replacement surgery is an advanced orthopaedic procedure performed to relieve severe hip pain and restore normal joint function. In this surgery, the damaged parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial implants to improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and help patients return to their daily activities with better comfort and quality of life.
