Why Hip Surgery is Performed

Your doctor may recommend hip surgery for many reasons, including the treatment of chronic pain or disability caused by:

  • Hip joint injuries, including fractures, dislocations, torn cartilage, and overuse injuries
  • Inflammatory forms of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis
  • Bone tumors, and loose bone fragments and cartilage pieces
  • Traumatic arthritis, which is similar to osteoarthritis and develops after a fracture or severe sprain or strain
  • Osteoarthritis, the breakdown of cartilage and bone
  • Osteonecrosis, or death of bone (very rare)
  • Other hip symptoms, including pain, swelling, stiffness, instability, locking, catching, and snapping
