La prótesis de cadera es una técnica de cirugía mayor que consiste en reemplazar la cadera dañada con una articulación artificial. Las características de los materiales utilizados en este tipo de prótesis permiten movilidad similar a la de la articulación humana. Los materiales utilizados en estos implantes incluyen: varios metales tales como acero inoxidable, cobalto, cromo y aleaciones de titanio; Plástico, generalmente polietileno, un material muy resistente y resistente al desgaste por fricción. El reemplazo de cadera se recomienda en casos de osteoartritis de la articulación o artritis reumatoide.
