When is Hip Surgery Recommended?

When is Hip Surgery Recommended?

In general, the doctors at CORE Orthopedics and Sports Medicine will give a good faith effort to resolve and manage hip pain with more conservative, non-surgical treatments. However, if the damage is too severe or those methods don’t improve your condition, your doctor may recommend total hip surgery. People who benefit from surgery often have:

  • Hip pain that limits everyday activities, such as walking or bending
  • Hip pain that continues while resting
  • Stiffness in the hip that limits the ability to move or lift the leg
  • Inadequate pain relief from anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, or walking supports.

*Important Safety Note: Hip replacement surgery is intended to relieve hip pain and improve hip function. However, implants may not produce the same feel or function as your original hip. There are potential risks with hip replacement surgery such as loosening, fracture, dislocation, wear and infection that may result in the need for additional surgery. Longevity of implants depends on many factors, such as types of activities and weight. Do not perform high impact activities such as running and jumping unless your surgeon tells you the bone has healed and these activities are acceptable. Early device failure, breakage or loosening may occur if you do not follow your surgeon’s limitations on activity level. Early failure can happen if you do not guard your hip joint from overloading due to activity level, failure to control body weight, or accidents such as falls. Talk to your doctor to determine what treatment may be best for you.
