When Is Hip Replacement Recommended?

Hip replacement may be an option when the joint is badly damaged and non-surgical care does not provide enough relief. Many patients consider surgery after trying activity changes, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, or image-guided injections.

Hip replacement is most often used for advanced osteoarthritis. It may also help in cases of inflammatory arthritis, avascular necrosis, certain hip fractures, or joint damage after injury.

Patients often seek evaluation when pain becomes constant or returns quickly after rest. Stiffness, reduced range of motion, limping, and difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of a car are also common. Night pain that disrupts sleep is another reason people consider surgery. If symptoms limit independence and daily function, a surgical consultation may be the next step.

Our Process

Hip Replacement Surgery in Houston, TX

Hip replacement removes damaged parts of the hip joint and replaces them with prosthetic components that create a smooth, stable joint surface. In a total hip replacement, the surgeon replaces the ball (femoral head) and resurfaces the socket (acetabulum) with a cup and liner. The goal is to reduce pain, improve alignment, and restore reliable movement.

Surgeons use precise techniques and may use less invasive approaches when appropriate. The best approach depends on your anatomy, the type of joint damage, and your overall health. The goal is to restore function while protecting muscles and soft tissue.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Your visit starts with a consultation and physical exam. We review where the pain is, what triggers it, and how it affects daily life. X-rays are the main imaging test used to confirm arthritis and joint damage. MRI, CT, or other imaging may be used when we need more detail or when symptoms and X-ray findings do not match.

We also review your medical history, medications, and overall health. We discuss your goals and activity level so the plan fits your needs. This step helps confirm whether hip replacement is the right option and which approach makes sense.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Recovery follows a structured plan. Many patients begin walking with support soon after surgery and then progress through physical therapy to rebuild strength, flexibility, and balance. Your timeline depends on the procedure, your health, and the demands of your daily routine.

Our team monitors healing through follow-up visits. We guide activity progression, incision care, and rehabilitation milestones. The goal is safe healing, better mobility, and a return to daily life with less pain.

Common Types of Hip Replacement Surgery

The right procedure depends on the condition of the joint, bone quality, and your activity level.

Total Hip Replacement

A total hip replacement replaces both the ball and the socket. It is the most common option for advanced arthritis or widespread joint damage.

Partial Hip Replacement

Partial hip replacement, or hemiarthroplasty, replaces only the ball portion of the joint. It is often used for certain hip fractures when the socket remains in good condition.

Hip Resurfacing

Hip resurfacing reshapes and caps the femoral head instead of removing it. It may be an option for select patients, often younger and highly active individuals with strong bone quality. 

Revision Hip Replacement

Revision hip replacement may be needed when a prior replacement fails or causes symptoms. Reasons can include implant wear, loosening, instability or dislocation, or infection. 

Common Hip Replacement Surgical Approaches

Hip replacement can be performed through different surgical approaches. The right approach depends on your anatomy, the condition of the joint, prior surgeries, and your surgeon’s clinical judgment. 

Posterior Approach

The posterior approach reaches the hip from the back. It provides strong access to the joint and is widely used. Recovery focuses on restoring strength and stability as tissues heal.

Anterolateral Approach

The anterolateral approach reaches the hip from the side and front. It allows the surgeon to work between muscle groups and may reduce certain instability risks for some patients. 

Direct Anterior Approach

The direct anterior approach reaches the hip from the front. In many cases, it can use a smaller incision and may preserve more muscle by working between muscles rather than detaching them. 

If you are considering hip replacement, our team will explain which approach fits your needs and what to expect before and after surgery.
