The hip replacement's "operation of the century" designation is a recognition of medical advances and the enormous impact this operation has had on many people's lives. Here are some reasons why hip replacement is called this:

 Frequency: Hip replacement surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures worldwide. Millions of people have already benefited from this operation.

 Quality of life: The hip prosthesis has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life of patients. People with severe hip pain or limited mobility due to joint wear and tear can walk pain-free and regain their freedom of movement through the operation.

 Advances in medical technology: The development and improvement of materials, surgical techniques and implants have made hip replacement surgery safer and more effective over the years. Modern prostheses are more durable and allow for better mobility and function.

 Long-term results: Hip replacement has proven to be an effective long-term solution. Many patients can lead an active life after surgery and carry out their daily activities without pain.
