[|AI|]  Hello, Total hip replacement is needed for hip arthritis. With recent advances in implants and techniques, it has a long life. Pros: -Relief from pain.-Improved gait and mobility which is pain-free.-Correction of limb length discrepancy. -No need to use sticks. Cons:-Risk of infection.-Cannot sit on earth and lifelong need to use chair type toilet.-Risk of dislocation. Overall it is very rewarding surgery and most complications are preventable.
