Chronic hip pain can make walking, sitting, and everyday activities difficult. When non-surgical treatments no longer provide relief, hip replacement surgery may be the most effective solution to restore mobility and improve quality of life. Hip replacement is a highly successful procedure designed to relieve pain, restore joint function, and help patients return to an active, independent lifestyle.
Our practice offers advanced hip replacement surgery performed by board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons with specialized expertise in joint replacement and personalized surgical care.
What Is Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement surgery, also known as total hip arthroplasty, involves removing the damaged portions of the hip joint and replacing them with durable prosthetic components. These implants are designed to mimic the natural movement of the hip, allowing for smoother motion and significant pain relief.
Hip replacement may be recommended for patients with:
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid or inflammatory arthritis
- Hip fractures
- Avascular necrosis
- Severe hip pain and stiffness that limits daily activities
Signs You May Need a Hip Replacement
Patients who benefit from hip replacement surgery often experience:
- Persistent hip or groin pain
- Pain that worsens with walking or weight-bearing
- Stiffness or limited range of motion
- Difficulty standing, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of chairs
- Pain that interferes with sleep
- Limited relief from medications, injections, or physical therapy
A comprehensive evaluation helps determine if hip replacement is the right option for you.
Hip Replacement Surgical Techniques
Our surgeons use modern techniques and implant technology to tailor surgery to each patient’s needs. Depending on your condition and anatomy, hip replacement may be performed using muscle-sparing, robotic-assisted, or minimally invasive approaches designed to support faster recovery and improved outcomes.
Your surgeon will discuss the most appropriate approach during your consultation.
Benefits of Hip Replacement Surgery

HIP REPLACEMENT Q&A
Why do I need a hip replacement?
Your hip joint is a ball-and-socket type of joint made up of the head of your femur (thigh bone) and the acetabulum socket. Between years of wear and tear and any acute injuries that can occur in the weight-bearing joint, you may eventually need to have it replaced. Your orthopaedic surgeon might determine that you’re a candidate for a hip replacement surgery (hip arthroplasty) if you have:
- Dislocation
- Complex fracture
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Severe hip stiffness
- Inherited hip disease
Usually, though, the hip replacement procedure is the last resort after exhausting conservative therapy efforts like medication and physical therapy.
What happens during a hip replacement?
The team of innovative orthopaedic surgeons at Texas Orthopaedic Associates, utilizes the most advanced methods and techniques for performing hip replacement procedures. During surgery, which is performed under general anesthesia, your orthopaedic surgeon:
- Removes the damaged head of your femur bone
- Places a metal stem into the hollow part of your femur
- Covers the stem with a metal or ceramic ball
- Removes damaged cartilage from the hip socket
- Inserts a specialized spacer to create a gliding surface
Hip replacement procedures can be partial or total. A partial hip replacement involves replacing just the damaged portion of your hip joint, while the total hip replacement restores your entire hip.
You may even qualify for a state-of-the-art custom hip replacement surgery. This procedure involves using high-definition 3D-imaging scans to measure your joint.
Your images are forwarded to Conformis, which is a company that creates personalized titanium hip replacement components in about 6-8 weeks. Your “new hip” is made for you and you only. Considered the “future of joint replacement,” these custom hip components can reduce surgery time and risk of infection.
How long is the recovery after a hip replacement?
Recovering from a hip replacement procedure takes time, but you should be up and walking around with little to no pain in as little as a week. You’re probably still going to need an assistive device, such as a cane or walker, during this time.
The orthopaedic team at Texas Orthopaedic Associates, teaches you exercises you should be performing regularly to improve joint mobility and promote healing. Expect to go through roughly 2-4 physical therapy sessions weekly for at least 4-8 weeks. In most cases, you can return to all of your regular activities with no limitation by about 4-6 months.
