Hip Surgery

When hip pain becomes severe because of arthritis, joint disease or simple wear and tear, a total hip replacement may be the next step for people that have stopped responding to conservative or non-surgical treatment.

The goal of a total hip replacement is to remove the damaged hip joint and replace it with a mechanical implant to relieve pain symptoms and will enable you to return to your daily activities.
