When is the right time for an operation?
- Hip-joint patient
- Quality of life following an operation
- Complications
- Hospital admission, preparation for the operation and surgery procedure
- The first days after the operation
- Hospital discharge and after-care
- Housekeeping and everyday life after the operation
- Movement and sport after the operation
In the case of a pronounced arthrosis, an artificial joint can be used to restore pain relief, mobility and stability. Nevertheless, a partial or total replacement of the hip joint is a procedure that you should take some time to reflect upon. The possible risks must be compared with the level of suffering. However, the question as to when, rather than if, an operation should be performed is asked more frequently.
