Article: Your hip joint is composed of a ball and a socket. The ball-like structure is attached to the long bone of the thigh called the femur, while the socket is located on the hip bone or pelvis. When you move your legs, this ball rotates into the socket (acetabulum).  In a healthy hip, the ball-like structure is able to glide smoothly in any direction inside the socket. This is because the smooth cartilage, which is a flexible tissue covering the ends of the bones, serves as a cushion. If the smooth cartilage gets worn out or damaged due to a fall or an accident, the movement of the ball and socket becomes rough and rubs against each other. This causes damage in your hip’s bone structure and reduces the mobility of your legs. While there is really no absolute weight or age criteria for total hip replacement, most people who need hip replacement surgery are within 50-80 years of age. Orthopaedic surgeons will evaluate hip issues on a case to case basis but will often recommend it if you demonstrate:  Hip joint pain that severely limits your ability to do basic, daily activities. Hip joint pain that is present both at rest and during movement, day and night. Hip joint stiffness that limits your hip joint’s normal range of motion, especially when lifting your legs or while walking or running. If you have a degenerative hip joint condition, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone necrosis, fracture or in  lesser cases, hip joint diseases found in children. If you are not getting enough support or pain relief from medications, conservative treatment and orthopaedic assistive devices for walking such as a cane or walker. In partial hip replacement, only the head of the femur is replaced by a metal ball so that it will glide into the socket smoothly. In a total hip replacement, both the ball and socket are replaced.  Total hip replacement surgery or hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where the damaged bone and cartilage of the hip joint is removed and replaced with prosthetic parts. A socket made of a durable plastic replaces the worn out socket. It is then stabilized using a cement-like material. Your doctor may also just leave it in the socket to allow new bones growing in the area to stabilize it.  Total hip replacement surgery will eliminate debilitating pain in your hip joint and help you resume normal activities such as bathing, walking, running, driving, etc. which have become virtually impossible to do pre-operation due to your injured hip. Not everyone who experiences hip joint pain are good candidates for hip replacement surgery. Even if you are a good candidate for surgery, your doctor will almost always prescribe non-invasive procedures first to treat your hip joint pain such as medications, exercise, and lifestyle modification such as losing weight and a physical therapy program. Your doctor will only recommend hip replacement surgery when these non-invasive treatments have not adequately helped you recover and resume your daily activities.

Understand how your hips work. Be aware of factors like age and disability that could lead to hip replacement surgery. Ask your doctor if you require partial or total hip replacement. Try non-invasive treatments before getting hip replacement surgery.
