Hip surgery often addresses conditions like arthritis or fractures, causing pain and limiting movement. The procedure involves repairing or replacing damaged joints. Post-surgery, recovery varies but generally includes physical therapy to regain strength and mobility, typically taking several weeks to months. Costs can differ widely, ranging from $20,000 to $60,000, depending on various factors. It’s important to have realistic expectations and follow your surgeon’s advice closely. I encourage you to discuss your symptoms and treatment options with a orthopedist to ensure the best care tailored for you.
