What kind of patients need artificial hip replacement? 1. Moderate to severe persistent joint pain, requiring long-term pain medication for relief. 2. The function of the hip joint is significantly affected, such as the inability to sit in a chair, go to the toilet, or walk up and down stairs. Cannot wear socks, cut toenails, etc. 3.X-ray examination shows signs of joint destruction. 4.Non-surgical treatment, i.e. physical therapy, or oral medication cannot relieve the problem. The purpose of surgery is to relieve your pain and give you a normal life. The unfamiliarity with surgery is often a reason for fear of surgery and a barrier to choosing surgery. Are there risks associated with choosing hip replacement? Just as there is the potential for injury in every activity of daily living, there are risks, large or small, associated with any surgery for patients. However, with the advancement of modern medicine, the risks of surgery are gradually being reduced. Artificial hip replacement surgery is a mature procedure, with millions of cases performed worldwide, with low risk and high success rate. We hope that every patient with hip disease will not give up the most suitable treatment and miss the best time to resume normal life because of the concern about the complications of surgery.
