Description
The orthopedic surgeon makes an surgical cut, often over the buttocks, to expose the hip joint. The head of the thigh bone is removed. Then, the hip socket is cleaned out and a tool called a reamer removes all of the remaining cartilage and arthritic bone. The new socket is implanted, after which the metal stem is inserted into the thigh bone. The artificial components are fixed in place, sometimes with a special cement. The muscles and tendons are then replaced against the bones and the surgical cut is closed.

In the UK they told me to wait 12 months for the surgery. That was like sentence! Thanks to the MTA Poland I managed to complete formalities in less than 3 weeks. At last I am returning to my previous form, thank you!
