Hip pain and stiffness limit mobility and diminish your quality of life. No matter the cause – arthritis, injury, lifestyle-related trauma – if non-surgical approaches like physical therapy or anti-inflammatory medications do not effectively resolve your pain, hip replacement at an outpatient hip center may be your best option to help you feel new again.
When considering any surgery it’s wise to educate yourself on the various approaches and possible outcomes. Details about the procedure, pain levels and medications, recovery timeline and precautions, risks, and aesthetics are likely factors in your decision-making process. Early on in your discovery process, it may be beneficial to determine whether or not you are a candidate for an anterior approach hip replacement.
