Hip replacement

When your world starts to shrink to shorter walks, we want to understand why. A conversation about hip replacement starts with your symptoms and the movement you want in your everyday life.

When do we consider a replacement?

Advanced hip osteoarthritis can make walking, dressing and resting painful. We discuss surgery when appropriate exercise, medication and walking aids no longer provide enough relief.

What does surgery change?

A hip replacement replaces damaged parts of the joint. The aim is to ease pain and improve function. An examination and X-rays help guide the approach, implant choice and expectations for your hip.

Recovery follows a plan.

Walking aids, exercise and gradual strengthening support recovery. Work and activity resume according to progress. Weight-bearing and movement advice depend on the procedure; walking and lower-impact activities are often more suitable goals than running.

What do we discuss before deciding?

Risks include infection, blood clots, dislocation, leg-length differences and later wear or loosening. We assess expected benefits and personal risks together; complete pain relief cannot be guaranteed.

You can arrange a consultation and assessment at Amabilia. If surgery is recommended, the appropriate operating institution, preparation, costs and follow-up plan are agreed separately with you.
