The other main option when considering hip surgery is total hip replacement.

Traditionally, total hip replacement has replaced the large femoral head with a head much smaller than the original. Wright's CONSERVE® Total Hip with BFH® Technology has been designed to mimic the natural kinematics of the hip by replacing the body’s natural head with a large diameter femoral head implant. This increases range of motion, thus reducing the chance of dislocation.

Total hip replacement is one of the most successful operations in modern medicine. Many studies highlight 99% survivorship at 10 years. However, most of the patients in these studies are over the age of 65 and many of these patient's lead very inactive lifestyles. Patients today expect more out of their doctors and their implants.

Only a trained orthopaedic surgeon and you can make the decision about how to deal with your hip pain. Total hip replacement can improve your quality of life and allow you to return to doing daily tasks and low-impact activities with greater comfort.

Call your orthopaedic surgeon today and see if you are a candidate for total hip replacement. Or search our Physician Locator database online to find a hip surgeon in your area. He/she will be better able to advise you of the most appropriate treatment for you.
