What are the Signs that You Need a Hip Replacement?
Osteoarthritis is usually the main reason that you would need a total hip replacement. This disease is a degenerative disease which affects the joint and bones of the hip. You would first notice a loss in the range of motion of your hip. You would also experience pain in the hip joint or groin area. Others around you may notice a limp due to the pain or loss of motion. You might even notice that your muscles around the hip have atrophy or they appear much smaller.
