Imagine walking, bending, and moving with ease again—free from the pain that limits you. For those living with severe hip pain, a total hip replacement could be the answer. At Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery (VSON), Dr. Henry Yu specializes in advanced hip treatments, including total hip replacement and partial hip replacement, providing patients with renewed mobility and a life without hip pain.
What is Total Hip Replacement?
A total hip replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces the damaged parts of your hip joint with artificial components, creating a smooth, pain-free surface for movement. This procedure is ideal for patients suffering from arthritis, fractures, or significant joint damage. Dr. Yu and the VSON team help patients determine if a total hip replacement is the right choice for achieving a new hip that brings comfort and function back to everyday life.
Total Hip Replacement vs. Partial Hip Replacement: Which is Right for You?
At VSON, Dr. Yu offers both total hip replacement and partial hip replacement options to meet individual patient needs. A total hip replacement replaces the entire joint, while a partial hip replacement addresses only the damaged part, often used for specific fracture cases. Dr. Yu will evaluate your condition and lifestyle to recommend whether a total or partial hip replacement best fits your unique needs and goals, allowing you to get the most from your new hip.
Is it Time for a New Hip?
If you’re finding daily activities increasingly challenging and experiencing unrelenting hip pain, a new hip might be the solution. Ideal candidates for total or partial hip replacement are often those with severe arthritis or trauma to the hip joint. Dr. Yu will conduct a thorough evaluation, discussing options like total hip replacement or partial hip replacement, to ensure your new hip offers lasting relief and helps you return to your favorite activities.
What to Expect from Your Total Hip Replacement
Dr. Yu performs total hip replacement surgery with precision, removing damaged parts of the hip and replacing them with durable, smooth artificial components.
