How does hip replacement surgery work?

Hip replacement works by replacing the ball and socket of your hip joint, says Dartmouth Health surgeons Dr. Alexander R. Orem and Dr. Ivan Tomek. Once into the hip joint, one of the very first things they do is remove the old arthritic ball at the top of the femur and replace both the ball and the socket. After those are secured in the pelvis, they snap in a polyethylene liner. They also make sure the leg length and the position of the implant are perfect before finishing the procedure.
