Hip replacement surgery is justified when hip joint wear (arthrosis) reaches an advanced stage and everyday movement becomes increasingly painful and restricted. Hip pain can then occur not only when walking, but also at rest and at night, impairing sleep quality and quality of life.
As a result of hip wear, the joint cartilage thins, the joint surfaces begin to rub against each other, and inflammation may develop. This can lead to restricted movement, hip and leg pain, limping, and a feeling of shortening of one limb.
If conservative treatments—such as physical therapy, drug therapy, hyaluronic acid or PRP injections—no longer bring lasting improvement, hip replacement is the most effective solution. The aim of the procedure is to restore the function of the hip joint, eliminate pain, and enable joyful freedom of movement.
