Hip Replacement Q&A

What is hip replacement?

Hip replacement, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces damaged or diseased portions of the hip joint with artificial components. The goal of hip replacement is to relieve pain, improve joint function, restore mobility, and return to daily activities with greater comfort and confidence when nonsurgical treatments no longer provide adequate relief.

This procedure is most commonly recommended for people with advanced arthritis or significant hip damage that interferes with daily activities and quality of life. Depending on your condition, your surgeon may recommend a partial hip replacement, which replaces only the damaged portion of the joint, or a total hip replacement, which resurfaces the entire hip joint.

At Texas Health Care Fort Worth’s Bone & Joint Clinic, the orthopedic specialists carefully evaluate your symptoms, imaging results, and overall health to determine whether hip replacement is the right option for you.

What symptoms may indicate the need for hip replacement?

You may be a candidate for hip replacement if you experience:

Persistent hip or groin pain that doesn’t improve with rest or medication
Stiffness or reduced range of motion
Difficulty walking, standing, or climbing stairs
Hip weakness or instability
Pain that worsens with activity
Pain that interferes with sleep or daily routines

If hip pain continues despite physical therapy, injections, or other conservative treatments, a surgical evaluation may be appropriate.

How is hip replacement performed?

Hip replacement surgery involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the hip joint and replacing them with durable artificial components designed to mimic natural movement. The procedure is typically followed by a structured rehabilitation program.

Recovery focuses on pain management, restoring range of motion, and rebuilding strength through physical therapy. Most patients experience significant pain relief and improved function within weeks to months after surgery.

If hip pain is limiting your quality of life, you don’t have to live with it. The specialists at Texas Health Care Fort Worth’s Bone & Joint Clinic provide expert surgical care and ongoing support throughout your recovery.
