What is anterior total hip replacement?

Total hip replacement is performed to relieve severe hip pain and improve mobility when conservative treatments have failed. It is typically done for patients suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or hip fractures that cause significant pain and limit daily activities.
How long does total hip replacement last?
Modern total hip replacement implants are designed to last 15-20 years or longer with proper care. Many patients enjoy their hip replacements for 20-25 years or more. The longevity depends on various factors including patient's activity level, weight, overall health, and the type of implant used.
Can total hip replacement cause sciatica?
While total hip replacement surgery is generally safe, in rare cases it can cause nerve irritation that may lead to sciatica-like symptoms. However, this is uncommon and usually temporary.
