What is Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement, also referred to as "hip replacement surgery," is a procedure where an orthopedic surgeon replaces a hip joint that has been injured or affected by disease with an artificial hip joint. This hip replacement allows for more natural and free movement.
When Should Hip Replacement Be Considered?
Injuries and disease can cause joint damage. Because of this, patients who have experienced one or more of the following may benefit from hip replacement surgery:
- Orthopedic injuries from an accident
- Arthritis
- Osteoporosis

In Addition to Hip Replacement Surgery, We Specialize In Hip Resurfacing
Some patients who experience hip pain may be more suitable for hip resurfacing rather than a total hip replacement. Hip resurfacing is a great option for patients who may benefit from hip replacement, but are younger and more active than candidates for a total hip replacement.
