Hip replacement surgery is a procedure used to treat certain hip conditions that cause ongoing pain, stiffness, and limitations in daily activities. It may be considered when symptoms persist despite non-surgical treatments such as medication, physical therapy, activity modification, or assistive devices. Some conditions that may lead to hip replacement surgery include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, and hip fractures or post-traumatic arthritis.
Synergy Orthopedics surgeons may recommend hip replacement surgery for individuals with hip pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, hip fractures, or other degenerative joint disorders. The most appropriate surgical approach depends on a patient’s anatomy, diagnosis, medical history, activity level, and treatment goals.
