If nonsurgical treatments like medications and using walking supports are no longer helpful, you may want to consider total knee replacement surgery. Joint replacement surgery is a safe and effective procedure to relieve pain, correct leg deformity, and help you resume normal activities.

The decision to have hip replacement surgery should be a cooperative one made by you, your family, your primary care doctor, and your orthopaedic surgeon. The process of making this decision typically begins with a referral by your doctor to an orthopaedic surgeon for an initial evaluation.
Candidatos para Cirugía
No existen restricciones absolutas de edad o peso para los reemplazos totales de cadera.
Recommendations for surgery are based on a patient’s pain and disability, not age. Most patients who undergo total hip replacement are age 50 to 80, but orthopaedic surgeons evaluate patients individually. Total hip replacements have been performed successfully at all ages, from the young teenager with juvenile arthritis to the elderly patient with degenerative arthritis.
When Surgery Is Recommended
Hay varias razones por las que su médico puede recomendar una cirugía de reemplazo de cadera. Las personas que se benefician de la cirugía de reemplazo de cadera suelen tener:
Dolor de cadera que limita las actividades cotidianas, como caminar o agacharse.
Dolor de cadera que continúa en reposo, ya sea de día o de noche.
Rigidez en la cadera que limita la capacidad de mover o levantar la pierna.
Alivio inadecuado del dolor con medicamentos antiinflamatorios, fisioterapia o soportes para caminar.
The Orthopaedic Evaluation
An evaluation with an orthopaedic surgeon consists of several components.
Medical history. Your orthopaedic surgeon will gather information about your general health and ask questions about the extent of your hip pain and how it affects your ability to perform everyday activities.
Physical examination. This will assess hip mobility, strength, and alignment.
X-rays. These images help to determine the extent of damage or deformity in your hip.
Other tests. Occasionally other tests, such as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, may be needed to determine the condition of the bone and soft tissues of your hip.
