Joint replacement surgeries for the knees and the hip will help in replacing the damaged bones effectively. A total hip replacement surgery involves 3 kinds of prosthesis. The first is a cup that is used to replace the hips socket. The next is a ball that replaces the head of the thigh bone and finally, there is a stem that is attached to the thigh bone. These 3 together are responsible for the movement of the hip. In some cases, not every part will be damaged.
