Why would I need hip replacement surgery?
Having a degenerative joint condition such as arthritis or undergoing a traumatic injury can cause you to experience severe and chronic pain, stiffness and swelling, which can decrease your mobility and affect your quality of life.
Hip replacement surgery may be an option for you if medication or conservative treatments — such as physical therapy — are no longer providing relief from pain.
If you are experiencing severe hip pain, an orthopedic specialist can help determine if hip replacement surgery is an option for you.
