Total hip prosthesis is applied to patients who have advanced hip joint damage. The prosthesis produced of cobalt chrome or titanium is replaced with the damaged joint.

Plastic, metal or ceramic components are used for the connecting pieces. The hip prosthesis surgery can be done thorough two ways. In the older patients who has a lower bone endurance, a filling named bone cement and the prosthesis are placed on the bone. This sort of prosthesis are called as cement containing hip prosthesis. For younger patients who have a stronger bone endurance,  the prosthesis covered by a spongy  substance is placed in the bone, confidently.

Ratio of success in the hip prostheis is more than 95%. In todays science, prosthesis life is more than 25 years thanks to the development of the medicine and inspiring implant designs.  If there is a corrosion or loosening on the implant, the doors get open for the new hip surgery.  The hip prosthesis surgery is an important and must be operated under a proper conditions. Moreover, it has potential risks. Along with these risks, problems in the hip may give a way to another problems. Eventually, this is a quite successful surgery if it is realized under skilled hands.
