Total Hip Replacement is performed for hips that
are painful and dysfunctional and that are not amenable to
joint preserving surgery. The surgery is generally extremely
reliable but does have some risks associated with it. Since
most of the hip replacement surgery that Dr. Murphy performs
is done using less invasive surgical techniques, more information
about hip replacement is available by clicking the tab "minimally
invasive hip surgery".
Below are a series of links that address many of
the scientific aspects of total hip replacement surgery include
implant design considerations and clinical results of total
hip arthroplasty.
