Orthopedic Surgery: Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement surgery is one of the most common orthopedic procedures. Hip replacement is a medical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a synthetic implant. It is the most successful, cheapest and safest form of joint replacement surgery Hip replacement surgery involves replacing the femoral head � the "ball" of your thighbone � with a metal ball. The metal ball attaches to a metal stem that fits into your thighbone. A plastic and metal socket is implanted into your pelvic bone to replace the damaged socket. The prosthetic parts, which mimic the natural design of your hip, fit together and function like a normal hip joint. During the operation, the surgeon separates your thighbone from the socket. Working between the large hip muscles, the surgeon removes the diseased or damaged bone and tissue, leaving healthy bone and tissue intact. The artificial socket is pressed into place. The top end of the thighbone is hollowed out to allow insertion of the metal stem with the attached ball. The ball and the socket join to form the new hip joint.

Rotator Cuff
Rotator Cuff is the merging of tendons on the superior lateral part of the upper arm. The tendons attach the shoulder muscle to the bone and help to lower and raise the arm and rotate the arm in and out. If the rotator cuff is torn significantly, surgery is generally recommended. This is to avoid the humeral head from jabbing up through the tear against the bony acromion. This often leads to arthritis of the shoulder joint. Through surgery the tear is sewn and again attached to the bony insertion on the lateral border of the humerus.

Osteotomy
It is a surgery of the bone when it is either lengthened, shortened or its alignment is changed. In this procedure the surgeon often removes a wedge bone near a damaged joint. Hip joint and knee joint pains are relieved though this surgery.
