Hip Replacement - Results

With a hip endoprosthesis, pain can generally mitigated and freedom of movement in the hip area can be reclaimed. Your new joint will help you to win back a new attitude toward life. After the healing process, some activities can be taken up again in different forms; others must be adapted. The chance that the prosthesis will last for 15-20 years is around 80%. For men and patients who weigh more than 80kg (176lbs), the chance of failure is increased.

Please be aware that a prosthetic hip cannot remain in the body forever and that the operation will need to be repeated when it has worn out or in the case of a failed procedure.²
