Do you have chronic pain due to a deteriorating hip joint? A hip replacement can give you a new, pain-free lease on life. This surgery removes the damaged portions of your hip and replaces them with long-lasting artificial components.

Happy Holidays to you and yours from all of us at Texas Orthopaedic Associates!
