Conditions That Necessitate a Hip Replacement

Conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, inadequate blood supply to the bone, external trauma, and bone tumors can lead to the breakdown of the hip joint. Before a hip replacement is performed, most people will try using non-surgical therapies, including canes and other walking aids, medications, and physical therapy. If these therapies fail to relieve pain and improve mobility in the hip joint, hip replacement surgery may be recommended.

Hip replacement is traditionally performed primarily on older people, but as technology improves and hip replacement devices advance, physicians are recommending it for younger people with hip problems to improve their mobility and allow them to return to their prior activity levels.
