Have stiffness and reduced mobility in the hip joint
Suffer from chronic hip inflammation that does not improve with non-surgical treatments
Need to restore hip function after injury or joint deterioration
In Thailand, hip replacement surgery is performed using advanced techniques to ensure optimal outcomes, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
