Long-term hip discomfort can disrupt everyday life by making it difficult to sit, stand, or move around. This pain can prevent one from leading an active lifestyle or doing activities they enjoy. Hip replacement surgery can be greatly beneficial to individuals that experience this pain. During your consultation, your orthopedic surgeon will evaluate your health and determine whether you are a good candidate for surgery.

What Is Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement surgery is performed for patients that have major damage to the cartilage and bone in the hip joints. During surgery, parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial implants. With a successful operation, the function and mobility of the hip are restored and pain is relieved.
Who is a Good Candidate for Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement surgery is most common for patients between 50 and 80 years old, however, can be performed at any age if deemed medically necessary. This surgery is beneficial for individuals that have hip pain that does not improve with medication, physical therapy, or exercise. Those who suffer from arthritis, have suffered an injury, or have had long-term issues with hip pain may also be good candidates for surgery. During your consultation, your surgeon will help you determine whether surgery is your best option.
