Second Edition - Fully Revised & Updated

GET YOUR HIP REPLACEMENT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

The best surgical outcomes aren't accidental - they're planned. If you or someone you love is facing hip replacement, you have questions, and probably some fear. This guide replaces that uncertainty with clear, practical direction from a surgeon who performs these procedures.

An experienced joint replacement surgeon walks you through every stage:

• When surgery is the right call - and the non-surgical options worth trying first
• How to prepare your body and your home in the weeks beforehand
• What actually happens during the procedure, in plain language
• A realistic recovery timeline: what's normal, what's not, and when to call your surgeon
• How to protect your new hip for the long term

Revised throughout with the latest recommendations and expanded patient education.

Don't simply undergo surgery. Prepare for it. Walk in informed, prepared, and confident - and get back to the life you've been putting on hold.
