Hip replacement is recommended for severe hip joint damage from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to the bone), or a hip fracture, when pain and stiffness significantly limit mobility and don't improve with medication, physical therapy, or walking aids. It's typically considered once conservative treatments no longer provide meaningful relief and quality of life is significantly affected.

Signs You May Need Hip Replacement

Persistent hip or groin pain that worsens with walking or standing, stiffness that makes it hard to put on shoes or get out of a chair, and a noticeable limp are common warning signs. Pain that continues even at rest or during sleep, along with reduced range of motion that limits daily activities, often prompts an orthopedic evaluation for joint replacement.

Types of Hip Replacement

Total hip replacement replaces both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) with prosthetic components and is the most common approach for advanced arthritis. Partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty) replaces only the femoral head, often used for certain fractures in older patients, and minimally invasive or anterior-approach techniques use smaller incisions with less muscle disruption, potentially speeding early recovery in suitable candidates.

How long is recovery after hip replacement?

Hospital stay is typically three to five days, with most people resuming most daily activities within six to twelve weeks, and continued improvement over several months.

What are the risks of hip replacement surgery?

Risks include infection, blood clots, dislocation, and implant wear over time, all of which your surgical team takes precautions against through medication, careful technique, and post-operative monitoring.
