The definitive treatment for hip arthritis is total hip replacement. The hip arthritis is surgically cut out of the hip and replaced. Hip replacement is a very successful operation with 95% of patients reporting good or excellent results.
Yes. The hip replacement restores the smooth bearing surfaces of the hip joint. This removes the arthritis from the joint completely. Todd Moore
