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.
