Full function: After the initial recovery, a patient can expect return to near full function. Depending on the technique, you may have certain limits on your motion and bending, but you should be able to walk normally and without limits. Most people can participate in many sports like tennis, skiing, hiking. Sexual relations should not be hampered.

Less groin pain: Hip replacement is performed to reduce or eliminate groin pain with weight bearing and to improve range of motion in an arthritic hip.
