Hip Surgery

The hip is the largest ball and socket joint in the human body. Its design allows a remarkable range of motion between the pelvis and lower limb while still maintaining a high degree of stability. A specialised layer of cartilage lines the bones of the hip allowing smooth, frictionless movement within the joint.
