The hip is a ball and socket joint and is located in a complex area of the body. Orthopedic sports medicine doctors and joint replacement specialists provide care for patients with hip injuries and pain. Hip pain can arise at any age – for younger, active patients hip pain usually stems for an injury to the hip. As we age, the cartilage may wear out and that opens the door for arthritis to set into the hip joint. Joint replacement specialists evaluate and treat these patients and offer traditional, minimally invasive, and revision surgeries to replace the hip joint, alleviate pain and restore motion.
Common conditions that lead to hip pain include:
- Hip Fractures
- Hip Impingement (FAI)
- Labral Tears in the Hip
- Snapping Hip
- Hip Arthritis
- Femoral Fractures
- Stress Fractures of the Hip
- Gluteus Medius Tears
- Hip Flexor Strain
- Piriformis Syndrome
- Arthritis and osteoarthritis
DO YOU NEED A HIP REPLACEMENT?
Are you experiencing hip pain or discomfort that hinders your daily activities?
It may be a sign that you need a hip replacement. Here are five common signs to look out for:
- Persistent Hip Pain: If you have been suffering from chronic hip pain that doesn’t respond to conservative treatments such as medication or physical therapy, it could indicate the need for a hip replacement.
- Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty in performing simple tasks like bending, walking, or climbing stairs due to limited hip mobility suggests a possible hip replacement requirement.
- Stiffness and Swelling: Inflammation, stiffness, and swelling around the hip joint can be indicators of advanced hip arthritis, which may necessitate a hip replacement.
- Chronic Hip Joint Pain at Rest: If you experience continuous hip joint pain, even while at rest or during sleep, it might be a sign that your hip joint is severely damaged and requires surgical intervention.
- Failed Non-Surgical Treatments: If non-surgical treatments have not provided satisfactory results or if the pain persists, a hip replacement surgery could be the most effective solution to restore your quality of life.
If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is advisable to consult with a qualified orthopedic specialist who can evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment, which may include a hip replacement procedure.
