Description: A total hip replacement replaces your arthritic hip joint and eliminates the damaged bearing surfaces that are causing you pain. The design of the implant offers you renewed stability and minimizes the wear process. Overall there are three benefits to your hip replacement:
1. Elimination of pain
2. Improved motion
3. Minimum wear and tear Bonesmart is a non-profit organization supported by selected clinics and suppliers of orthopaedic implants and by contributions from the public (OWL Editor's comment)

‘Bonesmart’ does contain some useful clinical information for those considering joint
surgery but, please be advised that it’s forum/chat section is under ridgid control of
a single individual (and ‘clique’ ) such that any participation should be carefully
considered.
Those of of an open-minded disposition would be well-advised not to participate in this sector of it’s website.
This is a personal review and is based on provable personal experience; it should not be confused with the "OrthopaedicWebLinks" (‘OWL’) website
