A member asked:
Hip replacement ever done for anyone in their forties?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If medical management of hip pain fails, surgical treatment can be considered. Patients who have conditions such as avascular necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip dyplasia are typically younger than those patients with osteoarthritis. Also, "less invasive" procedures such as hip resurfacing is commonly done in the younger age group.
