Hip Surgery

Hip surgery or Hip Replacement Surgery is a common means to treat hip arthritis or any other type of arthritis. In the United States, more than 250,000 surgeries for hip replacement are performed every year. As a matter of fact, arthritis can cause severe damage to the joints and make a person unable to conduct day-to-day activities like bending, stretching, and even walking. The constant increase in the popularity of hip surgery can either mean that the patients have either stopped responding to the traditional treatment method or the problem has reached the level where the traditional method is not adequate.

In such a hip replacement surgery, an artificially created part is replaced with the damaged one. Generally, this includes replacing the hip socket, femoral head, and femur with a plastic cup, a metal ball, and a metal stem, respectively.

How do Hip Kits Help?

As the name suggests, a Hip kit is a kit of several products that are exclusively manufactured to improve the quality of life of those who have undergone anterior hip replacement surgery. It helps in the restoration process of muscle strength after surgery. Subsequently, a hip kit ensures independence and prevents any injuries to the tender joint muscles. It offers utmost convenience to the patient in doing daily chores, making it easier to live with limited mobility, such as bathing, dressing, and reaching for high items.
