Synopsis:

The decision to undergo a total hip replace­ment can sometimes take years to make, but having a hip replacement can change a person's life.

Many questions surface whenever someone is faced with a major surgery, optional or otherwise. This book answers these questions and gives use­ful and relevant information that will assist not only with the decision to have the joint replacement, but also with recovery afterwards. From choosing an orthope­dic surgeon to the importance of exercise, this book covers all the major issues and topics regarding a total hip replacement.

Deciding to have surgery is a very personal and indi­vi­dual choice. Many factors play into the decision, including age, general health, lifestyle, limitations from hip pain, and individual personalities. Taking this guide along on a total hip replacement journey will help tremendously in reaching the goal of being functional and pain free again.
