When Is Hip Replacement Needed?
Hip replacement is typically considered when arthritis or joint damage becomes advanced and significantly affects quality of life.
You may be a candidate for hip replacement if:
-
– X-rays show severe joint degeneration
-
– Pain is constant, even at rest
-
– Daily activities are limited despite conservative treatment
-
– Sleep is disrupted due to hip pain
Most hip replacement patients are between ages 50 and 80, though recommendations are always individualized based on overall health, lifestyle, and goals.
Dr. Morris carefully evaluates every patient and only recommends hip replacement when non-surgical treatments have been exhausted and surgery is truly the best option.

When should I see an orthopedic surgeon for hip pain?
If hip pain lasts more than a few weeks, limits your daily activities, causes a limp, wakes you up at night, or doesn’t improve with rest, it’s time for an orthopedic evaluation. Early diagnosis may help prevent further joint damage and expand your treatment options.
Can hip pain be treated without surgery?
Yes. Many patients experience relief through conservative treatments such as physical therapy, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Surgery is considered only when non-surgical treatments no longer provide lasting relief.
What are the signs of hip arthritis?
Hip arthritis commonly causes groin pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, difficulty walking, and pain when getting up from a chair or climbing stairs. As arthritis progresses, symptoms may become more frequent and interfere with everyday activities.
Why does my hip hurt when I walk?
Pain while walking may be caused by arthritis, bursitis, hip impingement, tendon injuries, muscle strains, or labral tears. A comprehensive evaluation can identify the underlying cause and guide the most appropriate treatment.
How do I know if I need hip replacement surgery?
Hip replacement may be recommended when arthritis or joint damage significantly affects your quality of life and conservative treatments are no longer effective. Dr. Morris carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether hip replacement is the right option based on symptoms, imaging, and overall health.
