How Do I Know If I Need A Hip Replacement?
If nonsurgical options have been exhausted, a total hip replacement surgery might be necessary. Signs you may be a candidate for this procedure include:
- Persistent, significant pain or swelling in and around your hip joints
- Limited range of motion in one or both hips
- Difficulty with routine motions and activities, such as walking, putting on shoes or bearing weight on one leg
- Diagnosis of a specific condition, such as hip arthritis
- Nonsurgical interventions (medications, physical therapy) do not relieve symptoms over time
Ultimately, the best way to determine whether or not a hip replacement is right for you is to visit an orthopedic hip specialist.
