Modern hip replacement surgery is very durable. There is no age limit and anyone with severe hip disease can undergo total hip replacement providing they are fit for surgery. Diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure, etc. are not contraindications for surgery as long as they are in control. With good surgical technique, most patients can sit on the floor too.

It is extremely important that the surgeon who does your hip replacement is experienced and well trained, as consequences of bad surgery are very serious. The hospital where you have your surgery should have a very low infection rate. Post-operative infection in particular is very difficult to control and generally requires further major surgeries.

There are many types of hip replacement:

The most common procedure for hip replacement is the Total Hip Replacement surgery in which the painful joint from the hip is removed surgically. It is replaced with an artificial joint of metal alloy and plastic components. Once the surgery is completed, you will be able to walk comfortably without any pain. However, this procedure is recommended only when pain-relieving medicines and other procedures are not able to provide relief from the pain. Total Hip Replacement is the second most common surgery for joint replacement, only behind the Total Knee Replacement. It is also a super successful surgery along with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Total Knee Replacement.
