Frequently Asked Questions
What is a total hip replacement?
Total hip replacement surgery is a proven surgical treatment for relieving pain and improving movement in damaged hip joints. It involves an orthopedic surgeon & hip replacement specialist removing the worn-out areas of your hip and replacing them with a strong, artificial joint. This procedure is suggested when non-surgical treatments no longer work. At Torrez Orthopedics, Dr. Benjamin Torrez uses advanced techniques and personalized care to achieve the best possible outcomes.
How long is the recovery process after hip replacement treatment?
While every patient’s recovery is unique, most people see major improvements in mobility within several weeks of surgery, with many only reporting mild surgery-related pain on the day of surgery compared to their debilitating pain prior to surgery. Physical therapy is a key part of your rehabilitation process and will help you regain both range of motion and strength. Many return to their daily routines—including walking and light exercise—in just six weeks. Dr. Torrez and your care team will guide you with a recovery plan tailored to your abilities and lifestyle goals.
What can I expect during my first consultation for hip replacement?
At your first visit, Dr. Benjamin Torrez will take time to listen to your concerns and understand how hip pain is affecting your life.
