At 37?: For what reason would a 37yo need a hip replacement unless it was a congenital disease, severe trauma, or bone tumor, etc? Please elaborate why you would consider a major life altering surgery like hip replacement?

I think a lot: Depends upon why you are considering the surgery, what your current level of pain and disability is and what your goals are. These are questions that anyone considering joint replacement or any surgical procedure for an arthritis related issue must ask. 37 brings in an extra set of factors as most 37 year olds will expect to have a life expectancy that exceeds the projected survival of the joint.
