A hip endoprosthesis, or hip replacement, is surgery to replace a damaged hip joint with artificial parts (metal, ceramic, plastic) to relieve pain and restore mobility, most commonly due to severe arthritis, injury, or other conditions like osteonecrosis, involving replacing the femoral head (ball) and acetabulum (socket) to allow smooth, pain-free movement. It’s a highly successful procedure with excellent outcomes, improving daily function for many patients.
