In Hip Replacement Surgery, our surgeon Dr K S Anand will make an incision over the front or the side of your hip and cut through the layers of tissue. The diseased and damaged bone and cartilage are removed leaving the healthy bone intact. The surgeon at Anand Hospital, Purnia, Bihar will then implant the prosthetic socket into the pelvic bone to replace the damaged socket. The round ball on top of the femur is then replaced with a ceramic ball with a stem below. This stem is then fixed into the femur bone with or without the use of bone cement.
