Replace your hip, and you'll be able walk just like before. This is one of the miracles achieved by the advancement of the medical and surgical practices.
Hip replacement (joint replacement) surgeries are done in increasing numbers throughout the world. This indicates the high positive outcome rates of the surgery. A total of 50 000 total hip replacements are been done in United Kingdom every year.
The prognosis of the surgery is very good and 95% of the patients are found to have a almost normal joint movements without any pain. The replaced joined may function really well even for more than 20 years.
As a result of high number of people getting their joints replaced, the number of people with failure is also increasing, but this is a relative increase, not an absolute one.
I have met with several patients who had to get their hip joints replaced due to advanced stages of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. One of them had a her both knee and hip joints replaced and now her condition has really improved. She says that now she can walk with no pain at all.
