Clinical information about left hip replacements:

Left hip replacements are artificial joints (also known as prostheses) used to replace damaged or diseased left hip joints during a surgical procedure known as (total) hip arthroplasty. These come with a ball made of metal or ceramic to replace the femoral head and a metal or plastic socket to replace the hip socket.

Suppose a person injures their hip due to an accident or gets damaged/diseased due to rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. In that case, they won’t be able to perform their daily activities of living, work, or hobbies properly or not at all. Their mobility will be negatively impacted, too.

Hip replacements enhance the overall quality of life of those with damaged/diseased hip joints. They allow them to be as mobile as before being injured/afflicted with a particular disease. They also relieve them of the pain they used to feel before the hip replacement surgery.
