Understanding Hip Replacement

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure designed to relieve chronic pain and restore mobility in patients with a damaged or diseased hip joint. Over time, conditions such as arthritis, injury, or degeneration can wear down the cartilage and bone surfaces in the hip, making everyday movements painful and difficult. A hip replacement helps rebuild the joint, allowing patients to move comfortably and regain quality of life.

When Is Hip Replacement Needed?

You may be a candidate for hip replacement if you experience:

  • Persistent hip pain that limits walking or bending

  • Stiffness that reduces your range of motion

  • Difficulty sleeping due to hip discomfort

  • Pain that does not respond to medication, therapy, or injections

Dr. Dold carefully evaluates each patient to determine if hip replacement is the most appropriate solution, taking into account age, activity level, and overall joint health.

The Hip Replacement Procedure

During the procedure, the damaged portions of the hip joint are removed and replaced with high-quality prosthetic components. These implants are designed to mimic the natural movement of your hip, providing smooth motion and long-term durability.

Dr. Dold utilizes advanced surgical techniques and precision technology to ensure proper alignment and a stable joint, minimizing recovery time and improving post-surgical outcomes.

Benefits of Hip Replacement

  • Significant reduction in chronic hip pain

  • Improved stability and joint movement

  • Easier walking, sitting, and climbing stairs

  • Enhanced overall function and quality of life

Many patients find that hip replacement restores their independence and allows them to return to low-impact physical activities.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Recovery times vary by individual, but most patients begin light movement within a day of surgery. Physical therapy plays a vital role in regaining strength, balance, and flexibility. Dr. Dold and his team provide a personalized recovery plan to help each patient progress safely and confidently through every stage of healing.
