What is hip joint?


The hip joint is a ball consisting of two bones and they are the head of the femur and the socket. Our body is such a wonderful machine created with extraordinary craftsmanship. These bones have head at the joint having cavity inside. This is very useful while walking and all other activities. Hip is the second largest weight bearing joint. Ball and socket join the leg and the pelvis. Our ligaments connecting ball to the socket offer excellent stability for the joint. The hip joint is usually very strong to hold the body’s weight and movement. All these bones and ligament help in the mechanism of hip joint. In this scenario, if hip joint is damaged then it has to be replaced with medical surgery.

Well advanced medical surgeries are done to replace the hip joint. Patients who are super rich can afford the operation in USA and UK. Others can flock to the eastern countries for the treatment. When the patient is young it is healed quickly, but the older ones bones being brittle, if fractured then it is difficult to manage without the operation. One more worry always eats up the patient’s head is the expense. If it bearable then the patient will go ahead happily. If it is unaffordable then these have to look for the alternate which is equally good.

Patients can go to AIIMS for the hip replacement. Medical faculty, good infrastructure with latest medical equipment and English speaking staff make it easy and convenient for the needy ones. Here the treatment is given with harmony and medical efficiency. Moreover it is affordable here. Onlookers can never ever imagine the pain; the patient only knows what it is! These surgeons bring back the lost smile on faces of patients. What a noble profession! I bow my head with utter respect!
