After surgery, certain positions can cause the ball of the hip joint to come out of the socket.
Hip replacement surgery, also called total hip arthroplasty, is most commonly used to address pain and limited mobility caused by arthritis. Certain models can also keep knees and hips separated at a prescribed angle. Supporting the hip with a brace improves stability and mobility and helps users be more comfortable conducting daily life activities.Ī hip brace promotes healing by keeping the hips level, restricting motion, and holding the thigh bone in the hip socket, and can be used to address a variety of conditions.
More than 300,000 seniors are hospitalized each year because of hip fractures, and hip dislocation from trauma is also not uncommon. It takes a lot of force to injure this joint, but when it is affected by strains, bursitis, dislocation, fractures, arthritis, or osteoporosis, it can cause pain and severely diminish mobility and range of motion. The hip joint is made up of the ball at the end of the thigh bone and the socket in the pelvis.
