Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which an orthopedic surgeon surgically removes a painful hip joint and replaces it with an artificial joint, which is often made from metal and plastic components. Hip replacement in New Orleans is usually performed when other treatment options have failed to provide adequate relief from pain.
