Surgical Treatment Options

If you have not experienced adequate results with medication and other conservative treatments, surgery may provide the pain relief you long for, in addition to allowing you to return to the lifestyle and activities you enjoy. Your doctor can tell you whether you might benefit from joint replacement and explain the reasons why it may, or may not, be right for you.

If you and your doctor decide that surgery is an option to relieve your pain, your doctor will provide the specific-to-you details of which type of artificial joint he or she will use, what you need to know to prepare for the surgery, how the surgery will be performed, and what you can expect once you are up and moving again.

The orthopedic surgeon can evaluate your condition and tell you if hip replacement would be right for you. If your family physician, an internist, or a rheumatologist is currently treating your condition, you can ask them to refer you to an orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation.

If surgery is necessary to address your pain, your doctor may consider Hip Resurfacing or Total Hip Replacement.
