When is Hip Replacement Needed?

Your hips endure a lot of stress and “wear and tear” throughout your life. Often, this may result in a condition called osteoarthritis, where the cartilage that cushions your hip joint gradually starts to deteriorate. 

The resulting pain can not only keep you from the activities you love but can also make it difficult to even walk or function in day-to-day life. For some, it may be difficult to put shoes and socks on.

Hip replacements may be needed if your pain:

  • Severely limits your everyday activities
  • Continues even while you’re at rest
  • Inhibits your ability to move or lift your legs
  • Isn’t controlled with physical therapy or anti-inflammatory medication

A hip replacement may also be necessary if you have broken or injured your hip. Those who have severe arthritis may also need to have surgery. 

Childhood hip diseases—even if these were corrected during childhood—can prompt the need for a hip replacement.

What Happens During Hip Replacement Surgery?

Your hip is a “ball and socket” joint. This means that the “ball” or head of your femur (thighbone) rests within the “socket” of your pelvis.

When your hip is damaged, whether due to osteoarthritis or a trauma or fracture, a hip replacement may be necessary During the procedure, the “ball and socket” joints are replaced with metal and plastic components. 

Hip Replacement Procedures Offered at CMC

Total Hip Replacement surgery has been termed the “operation of the century” because of the consistent ability to provide pain relief and improve the quality of life of millions of patients around the world. 

When your hip is injured, or a disease such as arthritis develops, the surface cartilage of your hip joint deteriorates. Without this cartilage, the bony surfaces of your joint come into contact, causing pain and difficulty walking. During your total hip replacement surgery, the orthopedic surgeon replaces the ball and socket of your hip with metal and plastic components.

Our orthopedic surgeons in Horry County work with you to determine the most appropriate course of treatment and which procedure would be best to help your individual situation. The procedures we offer include:
