Hip Articulation
At Metro Prosthetic, we offer advanced solutions for individuals requiring hip articulation prosthetics. Our custom-designed hip articulation devices are designed to restore mobility, improve stability, and enhance the quality of life for those who have undergone hip amputations or need hip joint replacement. With a focus on innovation and patient-centered care, we provide prosthetics that are tailored to meet the unique needs and lifestyle goals of each individual.

What Is Hip Articulation?
Hip articulation refers to prosthetic devices designed to replace the hip joint and provide mobility to individuals who have lost their hip due to amputation or degenerative conditions. These prosthetics are carefully engineered to mimic the natural movement of the hip joint, enabling users to walk, stand, and perform a variety of everyday activities. Modern hip articulation prosthetics combine functional, durable designs with aesthetic options to support mobility and improve life quality.
The Customization Process for Hip Articulation
At Metro Prosthetic, we understand that no two patients are alike. Our highly personalized approach ensures that each hip prosthetic is designed with the individual’s anatomy, functional goals, and preferences in mind. The customization process includes:
- Residual Limb Anatomy: We take precise measurements and conduct a thorough evaluation of your residual limb to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
- Activity Level: Whether you’re engaging in light daily tasks or more physically demanding activities, we tailor your prosthetic to suit your lifestyle.
- Functional Goals: From walking to more complex movements, we design the prosthetic to help you achieve your mobility and stability objectives.
- Cosmetic Preferences: We offer aesthetic options to provide a natural appearance that aligns with your personal style.
