How do you know if you are a candidate for hip replacement surgery? 

Many years of repetitive motion like walking, running, stretching, playing golf, and normal daily activities can, overtime, cause discomfort.  The hip joint can develop arthritis and become painful. Therefore, it is important to get an assessment of your hip so you can make an informed decision about the best treatment plan for your situation. At The Center for Bone and Joint, our surgeons have many years of experience in treating arthritis and hip pain successfully. This includes conservative treatment up to total hip replacement surgery.  By getting a professional assessment, the medical staff will be able to determine the best course of treatment.

Typically in our office we see people with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Certainly there could be traumatic situations such as a dislocated or fractured hip. Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle so that even a mild stressor can cause a fracture. This is why it is important to set up an appointment with a Board Certified professional orthopedic surgeon who can determine the best course of treatment.

When an orthopedic surgeon has determined hip replacement is deemed necessary due to the failure of conservative treatments, such as physical therapy and injections, the professional staff at CBJD will walk you through how the procedure works and the follow-up plan.
