The Definitive Solution to Hip Problems: Total Hip Arthroplasty

As Metropol Health Group, we offer total hip arthroplasty, a modern surgical method for the treatment of hip joint problems. This procedure, which is applied in cases of severe damage such as osteoarthritis, fractures or infection in the hip joint, restores the functionality of the joint and reduces pain. With an artificial joint (prosthesis), hip movements return to normal and quality of life improves.

What are the Symptoms of Hip Joint Problems?

• Severe Hip Pain: Pain that does not go away even at rest and makes daily activities difficult.
• Swelling and stiffness of the joint: Swelling and limitation of movement in the hip.
• Limitation of Movement: Loss of normal function of the hip joint and a feeling of strain.
• Difficulty with daily activities: Pain when walking, climbing stairs or sitting up and down.

1. Diagnosis and Planning: The hip joint is examined with detailed evaluation and imaging techniques.
2. Anesthesia The surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
3. Removal of the damaged joint surface: The damaged parts of the hip joint are removed.

5. Rehabilitation Process: After the procedure, muscle strength and mobility are increased with physical therapy and exercise programs.
