What artificial materials are inserted to replace the hip joint?

Heimlich maneuver
Holistic care
Hip prosthesis
Hormones

The correct answer is: Hip prosthesis

The correct answer is the hip prosthesis. A hip prosthesis is specifically designed to replace the damaged or diseased parts of the hip joint, which can occur due to conditions such as arthritis or injury. This surgical procedure aims to alleviate pain and restore function, allowing the individual to return to daily activities. The other options are not related to the replacement of the hip joint. The Heimlich maneuver is an emergency procedure used to assist someone who is choking. Holistic care refers to a whole-person approach in healthcare that considers physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors, rather than focusing solely on the medical condition itself. Hormones are substances produced by glands in the body that regulate various physiological processes but do not pertain to the replacement of joints.
