A total hip replacement is considered when the painful parts of your hip are damaged. During total hip replacement surgery, the damaged hip parts are replaced with implants consisting of three components: a socket, ball, and stem. The outer shell of the socket is usually made of metal and the inner shell consists of plastic. When the metal ball is joined with the socket, the new hip can allow for smooth, functioning joint that prevents painful bone-on-bone contact.
