On the go has never felt so good!Whether you look forward to a daily morning bike ride or a leisurely afternoon walk, your life is lived in constant motion. Many people have become accustom to living an active lifestyle and do not have plans of slowing down any time soon. The goal of hip replacement surgery is to relieve pain in the joint caused by the damage to the cartilage and bone. This procedure is recommended for chronic hip pain and disability caused by arthritis. If you are experiencing discomfort in your hip joint during any physical activities, it may be time to consider treatment options available to you. In hip replacement surgery, the hip’s ball and socket joint is replaced with a prosthesis made of durable, wear-resistant plastic, metal or ceramic. This typically provides complete pain relief and helps the restoration of normal movement. The physicians at Ohio Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine explore all treatment options, and if previous efforts to relieve pain have been unsuccessful, they may suggest hip replacement surgery to restore pain-free mobility. Having surgery does not need to result in a life of inactivity, but rather one that is enhanced with comfort and stability. Depending on the severity of the hip condition, our specially-trained physicians might perform the latest minimally invasive hip procedures like mini-incision hip and two-incision hip, which allow faster recoveries and minimize pain. Our specialized physicians are here to help you return to an active lifestyle and enjoy a pain-free life. |
