Hip joint

When is hip replacement discussed?

Persistent hip or groin pain that limits walking and everyday activities.
Stiffness or difficulty with shoes, stairs or comfortable sleep.
Inadequate relief from appropriate non-surgical treatment after a clear diagnosis.

What does assessment include?

Identifying the pain source and considering the spine and surrounding tissues.
Movement, gait, leg length and muscle strength.
Review of imaging and medical and surgical history.
A realistic discussion of benefits, risks and recovery expectations.

Treatment planning

The decision begins with understanding the cause of pain. When replacement is appropriate, implant, approach and rehabilitation planning are individualized.

Non-surgical care and activity modification where appropriate.
Replacement planning for advanced joint damage with significant symptoms.
Optimizing general health and modifiable risk factors before surgery.
A structured movement, rehabilitation and follow-up plan.

Common questions

Does all hip pain come from the joint?

No. Muscles, tendons, the spine and other conditions may cause similar pain, so assessment and diagnosis come before a treatment decision.

When can I return to activity?

Timing depends on the procedure, health, tissue healing and rehabilitation progress. Individual guidance is provided during follow-up.
