Hip replacement is one of the best orthopedic surgical procedures. Components of your new cup, ball and stem are made of plastic, ceramic and titanium. A hip replacement should be considered for someone who has hip arthritis that causes pain that interferes with daily life. Most do very well with their new hip and can walk the same day as the procedure is done. After the procedure, most surgeons recommend avoiding certain positions:

• External rotation and extension for anterior hip procedures

• Internal rotation and flexion for posterior hip procedures.

Therapy exercises before and after your surgery can help you recover faster and stronger.
