  2. What is Hip-Replacement Surgery? • Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which the surgeon removes a painful hip joint with arthritis and replaces it with an artificial joint often made from metal and plastic components.

  3. Why it is done? • Osteoarthritis. osteoarthritis damages the slick cartilage. • Rheumatoid arthritis.  rheumatoid arthritis produces a type of inflammation that results in damaged and deformed joints. • Osteonecrosis: might result in a dislocation or fracture, the bone might collapse and deform.

  4. What to do at Home After Hip Replacement Surgery? • Keep stair climbing to a minimum. • Sit in a firm, straight-back chair • To help avoid falls, remove all throw rugs and keep floors and rooms clutter free. • Use an elevated toilet seat. • Keep enthusiastic pets away until you have healed completely.

  5. How long does it take to recover? Most hip replacement patients are able to walk within the same day or next day of surgery; some resume normal routine activities within the first 3 to 6 weeks of their total hip replacement recovery.
