a surgical procedure to correct a hip joint damaged by degenerative disease, often arthritis. The head of the femur and the acetabulum are replaced with metal components. The acetabulum is plastic coated to avoid metal-to-metal articulating surfaces. See also total hip arthroplasty, total joint replacement.
