Частые вопросы

What is the difference between anterior and posterior hip replacement?
Anterior approach goes between muscles rather than cutting through them, potentially allowing faster recovery and lower dislocation risk. Posterior approach is more versatile for complex cases. Both have excellent outcomes in experienced hands.
How long does a hip replacement last?
Modern hip replacements last 15-25 years depending on patient age and activity level. Ceramic bearings may last even longer. Younger patients may eventually need revision surgery.
When can I return to sports after hip replacement?
Low-impact activities (walking, swimming, cycling) can resume at 6-8 weeks. Higher impact sports (tennis, skiing) may be possible at 3-6 months depending on approach and individual recovery.
Is hip resurfacing better than replacement?
Hip resurfacing preserves more bone but has more limited indications. It is best for younger males with good bone quality. Total hip replacement is more versatile and has more predictable long-term results.
What is hip replacement China cost for international patients?
Hip replacement China cost for international patients is typically $10,000 for total hip arthroplasty including implant and 5-7 day stay, versus $50,000+ in the US—about 70-80% savings. Anterior approach and ceramic bearings available at similar savings.
