THR - Total Hip Replacement
Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit
When Is the ( THR )
Total Hip Replacement recommend?
There are several reasons why your doctor may recommend hip replacement surgery.
People who benefit from hip replacement surgery often have:
- Hip pain that limits everyday activities, such as walking or bending
- Hip pain that continues while resting, either day or night
- Stiffness in a hip that limits the ability to move or lift the leg
- Inadequate pain relief from anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, or walking supports
- Your hip may be stiff, and it may be hard to put on your shoes and socks. You may even feel uncomfortable while resting
- If your hip has been damaged by arthritis, a fracture, or other conditions, common activities such as walking or getting in and out of a chair may be painful and difficult.
CANDIDATES FOR SURGERY
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
If medications, changes in your everyday activities,
and the use of walking supports do not adequately help your symptoms,
you may consider hip replacement surgery.
Hip replacement surgery is a safe and effective procedure
that can relieve your pain, increase motion,
and help you get back to enjoying normal, everyday activities.
