Why Total Hip Replacement Is Needed
Total hip replacement is most often recommended for advanced osteoarthritis that has worn away the hip's cartilage, and for hip fractures in older adults, commonly of the femoral neck, where the bone and blood supply are too damaged to heal on their own. Other causes include rheumatoid arthritis and avascular necrosis of the hip joint.
Signs You May Need Total Hip Replacement
Warning signs include chronic hip pain that radiates to the groin or thigh, stiffness that makes it hard to put on shoes or get in and out of a car, a limp from pain-avoidance, and following a fall, an inability to bear weight or a leg that appears shortened or rotated.
Types of Total Hip Replacement
The main options are cemented implants, which are fixed with bone cement and often preferred in older patients with softer bone, and cementless (press-fit) implants, which rely on bone growing into the implant surface and are often used in younger, more active patients; the surgical approach — posterior, anterior, or lateral — is chosen based on the surgeon's expertise and patient anatomy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hip replacement necessary after every hip fracture?
Not always — some fractures can be fixed with screws or plates, but fractures involving the femoral neck in older adults are often better treated with replacement since that area has a poor blood supply for healing.
How soon can I walk after surgery?
Most patients start walking with support within a day, progressing to a cane or unassisted walking over the following weeks.
What is the long-term outlook?
The large majority of patients experience dramatic pain relief and improved mobility, with implants lasting 20+ years in most cases.
What precautions are needed after surgery?
Certain hip movements, like deep bending or crossing legs, are restricted for the first several weeks to prevent dislocation while the tissues heal.
What are the surgical risks?
Risks include infection, blood clots, dislocation, and leg length differences, all of which your surgical team will actively work to prevent and monitor.
