Hip replacement, also called total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a worn out or damaged hip with a prosthesis (an artificial joint). This surgery may be considered following a hip fracture (breaking of the bone) or for someone who has severe pain due to arthritis. Various types of arthritis may affect the hip joint. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that affects mostly middle-aged and older adults, may cause the breakdown of joint cartilage and adjacent bone in the hips. Rheumatoid arthritis, which causes inflammation of the synovial lining of the joint and results in an excessive synovial fluid, may lead to severe pain and stiffness. Traumatic arthritis, arthritis due to injury, may also cause damage to the articular cartilage of the hip. The goal of hip replacement surgery is to replace the parts of the hip joint that have been damaged and to relieve hip pain that cannot be controlled by other treatments.

Our body converts the food we eat into energy. The food that is not used up becomes the waste product left behind in the bowel and in the blood. This is where our kidneys do their job. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist, located below the ribs toward the middle of the back. Their function is to: Remove liquid waste from the blood in the form of urine. Maintain a stable balance of salts and other substances in the blood. Produce erythropoietin, a hormone that aids the formation of red blood cells. Regulate blood pressure.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a procedure used to treat CAD in certain circumstances. CAD is the narrowing of the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle), caused by a build-up of fatty material within the walls of the arteries. This build-up causes the inside of the arteries to become narrowed, limiting the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
