Do you have a “bad hip”? Does hip pain and stiffness keep you from enjoying day to day activities? If you’ve been experiencing hip problems you may be wondering if you are a candidate for hip replacement surgery.

Total hip replacement, or hip arthroscopy, is considered a highly successful, and cost effective long term treatment of hip pain and immobility. It has a success rate of 90 percent in alleviating pain. If hip joint pain and immobility have been seriously affecting your quality of life, it’s time to meet with an orthopaedic specialist.

An orthopaedic hip specialist can help you decide if you are a candidate for total hip replacement surgery. Your specialist will likely recommend less invasive, non-surgical treatments to manage your condition before turning to surgery, such as corticosteroid injections and physical therapy. Should non-surgical treatments be unsuccessful in proper pain management, they will take a closer look at surgical options.
