Hip prosthesis surgery (hip arthroplasty) has been performed since the 1920s. The rapid advancements in this field, which began in the 1980s, continue to this day.

This surgery, which involves replacing the worn surfaces of the hip joint with artificial surfaces, is widely performed today.

In the 1970s, the average lifespan of a prosthesis was reported to be 10 years, but today, 85% of patients report that their prostheses last 20 years or more. Various prostheses have been developed to meet medical necessities.

Before deciding on hip prosthesis surgery, it is essential to discuss with your doctor whether you are an appropriate candidate for the procedure, your expectations from the surgery, the process, the changes you may need to make in your life post-surgery, and any potential complications during or after the surgery.
