After Hip Osteoarthritis Surgery

In addition, some accidents or traumas and some rheumatic diseases can also cause hip arthritis. The hip joint is one of the areas most affected by calcification in the human body. The most important symptom of arthritis in the hip joint is pain in the groin or towards the inner part of the knee. If hip calcification is diagnosed at an early stage and the necessary treatment is applied, treatment can be performed without wearing a prosthesis. However, hip replacement surgeries can be performed successfully in cases where the disease is advanced and patients have difficulty continuing their daily lives due to pain and movement restrictions.

It is important for patients to act at home as instructed by the specialist physician after being discharged.
