  Hip Replacement
Movement and mobility are the 
attributes unique to humans. A human 
body consists of 206 bones and the 
skeletal framework have around 65 
joints providing the mobility. 
Locomotion and movement is the gift 
that slashes out the boredom and 
jamming of human body. While the 
joints have different range of motions 
according to the function they perform, 
at times they get restrictedwhen any 
pathology or structural misalignment 
invades these joints.Even the variation 
in bone surface that increases the 
friction and that in turn rotten  the joint 
mobility and the smooth mobile joint 
turn jammed and painful.
Hip joint being the most mobile 
weight bearing joint suffers a lot of 
forces leading to the disruption of 
the cartilage, synovial capsule and 
the joint surfaces. Especially due to 
aging or severe pathologies even a 
trivial fall can lead to frequent hip 
injuries. While in minor cases 
conservative treatment or surgical 
ligation may work , when the patient 
is in old age and leave negligence 
chances of healing, hip 
replacement or hip arthroplasty is 
the most reliable and preferable 
treatment . According to the
