Understanding Hip Replacement
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with prosthetics. Dr. Gerardo Mangino / Knee & Hip Specialist uses implants from trusted companies like DePuy and Zimmer Biomet.
The team at our San Jose del Cabo orthopedics office can repair your hip with an individual component or an entire hip replacement system, depending on your needs.
Candidacy for Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement surgery may be an option for you if you experience hip pain that:
- Interferes with your sleep
- Persists even with medication
- Doesn't respond to nonsurgical treatment
- Interferes with your walking or other daily activities
Before you can be cleared for hip replacement surgery, our Cabo San Lucas team will run some tests to determine if partial or total hip replacement is the safest option for you.
