HIP ARTHRITIS

Hip Arthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that can affect any joint in your body, including your hips. Over time, due to aging, trauma or other factors, the cartilage that cushions your joints starts to break down. Without cartilage, your joint bones rub together when you move. The bone-on-bone action creates pain, stiffness, and can limit your mobility. This is especially true with OA of the hip, as the hip contains large joints that carry your body’s weight with each step you take. Treatment options for hip arthritis range from lifestyle modifications to pain management, exercise programs, and even surgery.Joint Replacement Surgeon in Pune
