Are You too Young for Hip Replacement Surgery?
Am I too young to undergo hip replacement
surgery? Is the most common question we were
often asked by our patients of all age groups at
our Joints Sports Clinic. There are few
surgeries which are often considered to be
associated with ageing elders and hip
replacement belongs to the same category. Do you
have the same question? Then the answer is no,
there is no specific age for hip replacement
surgery. The surgery is directly dependent on the
severity of hip disability than age and hence
there is no specific age requirement for
undergoing a successful hip replacement surgery.

Not All Hip Problems Need A Hip Replacement
Surgery Surgery remains the most effective
option available to treat debilitating hip pain.
But not all hip problems require surgery. As soon
as the orthopaedist or joint specialist determine
the root cause of the pain, based on the
underlying cause of pain and severity of symptoms
and treatment plan is designed. And it often
starts with non-surgical options available that
include, anti-inflammatory pills, pain
medications or injections weight loss, dietary
supplements restricted activity during painful
episodes, and only when all these options fail to
provide relief, a hip replacement surgery is
recommended by an orthopaedist or joint
replacement surgeon.

Are You too Young for Hip Replacement Surgery?
After hip replacement surgery remains to be the
only option, there are again several factors
(mainly the health status) and presence of other
medical problems like diabetes, obesity, joint
disease and symptoms or even mental health which
play a crucial in role in deciding the progress
of surgery. A joint replacement surgeon
recommends the hip replacement surgery only when
all the checks are cleared and it is proven to
improve the hip condition of the patient and
following the approval, the hip replacement
surgery can be performed irrespective of age
given the physical health and mental health of
the patient is sound. So yes, hip replacements
can be successfully performed for any patient if
the hip disability and problems can only be
solved by the hip replacement surgery.

Hip Replacement for the Young Risks
Challenges The only concern for younger
patients is related to the longevity of the
joint. Given the average age of the hip
implants is considered to be 10 years, the
problem of them wearing out is brought into
question. However, it must be noted that the
average age in which the majority of the patients
are above age 55. The average age of hip
replacement implants when adjusted to the younger
patients is as high as 18 years. In summary, if
the non-surgical treatment options fail to
provide relief for the hip problems, hip
replacement surgery can be performed by a joint
replacement surgeon regardless of age. In case
you are looking for hip replacement surgery and
have more questions regarding the procedure, its
efficacy, results and recovery expert
orthopaedist and joint replacement surgeon Dr
Chirag Patel can help you with all the required
information.
