The hip is a robust ball-and-socket joint where the femoral head (the ball) fits into the acetabulum (the socket), allowing smooth movement and optimal weight distribution. Unfortunately, in cases of hip dysplasia, this proper fit doesn’t happen. The ball may not snugly fit into the socket, leading to instability, friction, early wear and tear, ultimately resulting in early-onset arthritis.
Hip dysplasia is a painful condition that progressively worsens with age. For more information, top joint replacement surgeon and hip replacement specialist in Mumbai, Dr. Chirag Patel.
