استبدال مفصل الورك باصطناعي

Hip prosthesis is a major surgery technique that involves replacing the damaged hip with an artificial joint. The characteristics of the materials used in this type of prosthesis allow mobility similar to that of the human joint. The materials used in these implants include: various metals such as stainless steel, cobalt, chromium and titanium alloys; plastic, usually polyethylene, a very durable and friction wear-resistant material. Hip replacement is recommended in cases of osteoarthritis of the joint or rheumatoid arthritis.
