However, total hip replacement is not without its own risks and concerns, and therefore many people wonder if there are alternatives to hip replacement.

Broken Hip Recovery
Recovering from a broken hip typically involves surgery followed by physical therapy to restore mobility and strength. Early movement after surgery is crucial for regaining function and preventing complications. While pain usually lessens after four to six weeks, it can take up to a year to fully recover from a broken hip.

One of the world`s most common knee surgeries does not help and may even be harmful
Trimming a degenerated meniscus, or partial meniscectomy, is one the most common orthopedic surgeries in the world. Partial meniscectomy does not improve patient symptoms or function, reveals a 10-year follow-up of the FIDELITY, a placebo-surgery controlled trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Safe and reproducible knee posterolateral portal development using an arthroscopic inside-out technique: A technical note and retrospective case series of current technique
There have been many variations of knee arthroscopy posterolateral portal establishment techniques, yet few reports of associated complications. The objective of this study was to describe a standardized inside-out posterolateral portal development technique and to report data on its safety.

Acute total hip arthroplasty for anterior hip fracture dislocation: a case report
Hip fracture–dislocations accompanied by femoral head or acetabular fractures remain challenging, and the optimal treatment strategy is still controversial. Anterior hip fracture–dislocations are particularly rare, and reports describing acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) for this injury pattern are limited. We report the case of a 74-year-old active woman who sustained an anterior hip fracture–dislocation with femoral head and acetabular anterior wall fractures after a low-energy fall.

Surgical management techniques for avascular necrosis of the femoral head: a systematic review
Early surgical intervention for avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head can preserve the hip joint and delay the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of various surgical modalities to treat femoral head AVN as assessed by THA-free survivorship, radiographic failure, and patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs).

11 Common Hip Pain and Injuries in Athletes
Muscle strain, or pulled muscle, occurs when a muscle is overstretched or torn. In athletes, this type of injury is common in the hip and groin area due to fatigue, overuse, or the improper use of a muscle. The failure to warm up before exercise also contributes to the problem.
