  2. Introduction Persistent hip pain and stiffness can interfere with everyday activities like walking, sitting, or even sleeping. While conservative treatments may offer temporary relief, some conditions progressively worsen, requiring more advanced care. Hip replacement surgery is a highly effective option that can significantly improve mobility and quality of life when other treatments no longer help.

  3. Common Causes of Hip Damage • Osteoarthritis: Wear-and-tear arthritis commonly seen with ageing. • Rheumatoid arthritis: Causes inflammation and joint damage. • Post-traumatic arthritis: Follows a serious injury or fracture. • Avascular necrosis: Bone tissue death due to poor blood supply. • Hip dysplasia: Abnormal joint development, often present from birth.

  4. Key Signs You Might Need a Hip Replacement • Severe hip or groin pain during activity or rest • Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or rising from a chair • Joint stiffness limiting range of motion • Limping or balance issues • Pain that doesn't improve with medication or physiotherapy

  5. When to Consider Surgery • Non-surgical treatments (medication, injections, therapy) have failed • Pain disrupts sleep and daily routines • X-rays show significant joint damage • Your overall health is suitable for surgery • You’re ready for the commitment to post-surgical recovery and rehab

  6. Conclusion Recognising the signs of severe hip joint damage is the first step towards recovery. When conservative measures no longer offer relief, hip replacement surgery becomes a safe and reliable solution for regaining mobility and reducing pain.
