When it is worth considering
A hip replacement tends to be worth considering when hip arthritis is significantly affecting your quality of life — your walking, your sleep and the activities you value — and when non-surgical measures are no longer giving you enough relief.
Signs people often describe
Groin pain that limits walking distance; stiffness putting on shoes or socks; pain that disturbs sleep; and a sense that the hip is "wearing out". If several of these sound familiar, it is reasonable to have your hip assessed.
The honest answer is individual
In a consultation I assess your hip, your imaging and your goals, and talk you through every option — including the non-surgical ones — so that any decision is made together and at the right time for you.
