What is Hip Replacement?

A hip replacement is when a surgeon removes the damaged parts of the hip joint and replaces it with an artificial joint. There are several conditions which may damage the hip joint. These conditions include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteonecrosis.

Symptoms of Hip Pain Symptoms of severe hip pain include intense pain (even when on medication), using a cane or walker to move around, poor sleep, being unable to walk up and down the stairs, and having difficulty rising from a seated position. If you experience these symptoms you may be considered for a hip replacement to relieve your pain.
