BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's hip surgery was successfully completed, and he is now awake and well, his doctors said on Friday afternoon. Lula underwent surgery for hip arthrosis caused by the extremely painful wear and tear of the cartilage on the head of the femur. The procedure, with general anesthetic, is aimed at restoring the function of his right hip by arthroplasty, which involves removing the head of the femur to implant a prosthesis.
