Why a Total Hip Replacement?

What Causes the Pain?
• Arthritis
• Degenerative Joint Disease
• Affects the cartilage or lining on the ends of the bones
• Cartilage becomes worn so movement is not smooth within that joint, and the grinding is painful (bone-on-bone)
• Pain, stiffness and loss of function are common
