Total hip arthroplasty is a procedure in which the hip joints are replaced by artificial joints. This is usually performed on patients that are 60 years old or above due to severe arthritis. Sometimes, though, this procedure is done on patients with fractures in the thigh bone or patients with hip joint tumors.
Dr. Swanson is currently part of the highly skilled orthopedic surgeons of Randolph Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. They offer services for patients with work-related and sports-related orthopedic illnesses or injuries. For more information, visit their website at http://www.randolphorthopedics.com.
