A member asked:
After hip replacement how often are patients really happy with their new hip ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: This is one of the best surgeries we do in orthopaedics. An arthritic hip is very painful and total hip arthroplasty (tha) usually relieves that pain. The function is very good and people can get back to walking pain free. Rehabmeat be long and painful, but most find the results well worth it!

Excellent results: Patient satisfaction with the outcomes of hip replacement surgery are excellent overall. Reported satisfaction rates for patients are high, based on low complication rates and reliable resolution of arthritis pain. Talk to your orthopaedic surgeon for any additional questions.
