Are you a candidate for Total Hip Replacement?
You do not have to live with pain in your hip for the rest of your life. Total hip replacement is one alternative that can help reduce pain in your joints. Ceramic may be an attractive option particularly for younger, more active patients looking for a bearing material that may wear better and last longer.
However, 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, and whether or not the ceramic option is appropriate. Or search our Physician Locator database online to find a hip surgeon in your area using ceramic implants. He/she will be better able to advise you of the most appropriate treatment for you.
