Hip pain can stem from a variety of acute and chronic issues, such as:
It is typically recommended that the joint causing the most symptoms is replaced first. However, if both joints are equally symptomatic, it is usually best to begin with hip replacement surgery. Recovery and rehabilitation after a hip replacement takes at least six weeks. Depending on your situation, you should be able to move forward with a knee replacement any time after that.
Age is not a major consideration in total hip replacement surgery, as hip injury can occur at any time. The severity of the patient’s pain and restriction in activities are the primary considerations.
The risk of major complications with hip replacement surgery is low. There is a small risk of blood clot, infection and complications with anesthesia, and some patients may have continued discomfort in their hip after surgery. Your orthopedic hip specialist can answer any concerns you have prior to your operation.
Recovery time following hip replacement surgery will vary from patient to patient. On average, it takes six weeks before patients can return to a majority of daily living activities. Full recovery from your hip replacement surgery and return to certain activities could take up to a year.
Depending on the patient and their lifestyle, an orthopedic hip implant can last longer than 20 years. Other factors can impact this, such as the age of the patient at the time of surgery and the type of implant used.
Hip labral tear symptoms can include: deep groin pain or pain in the buttocks on the side of the injured hip, a feeling or sound of clicking or locking when your hip is in motion, and/or hip pain, especially while it rotates in certain directions.
Hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), is a condition in which there is abnormal and wearing contact between the ball and socket of the hip joint. The result is increased friction during hip movements that may damage the joint over time and eventually necessitate hip surgery.
