Total Hip ReplacementTotal Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement surgery is performed to replace a diseased hip joint with an artificial hip joint. The surgery is done to free patients from stiffness and pain caused by osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease and the most common form of arthritis) and rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic autoimmune disease that occurs when antibodies in the blood system designed to attack viruses and infections mistakenly target the body's own healthy tissues).
Total hip replacement surgery is performed by an orthopedic surgeon who makes an incision in the patient’s hip, removes the diseased joint, and replaces it with the artificial hip joint. In some cases, total hip replacement surgery has to be repeated or "revised." For the ratings analysis, HealthGrades only includes initial procedures, which indicate that the hip replacement procedure is being performed for the first time on a particular patient.
