Outpatient Joint Replacement
Total Hip Replacement in Metro Detroit
When hip arthritis or joint damage causes painful bone-on-bone contact, walking, standing, getting in and out of a car or sleeping can become difficult. Total hip replacement removes damaged bone and cartilage and recreates the natural ball-and-socket function of your hip.

The Procedure
What Is Total Hip Replacement?
Total hip replacement replaces the worn or damaged parts of the hip joint with smooth implants to eliminate painful bone-on-bone contact. The goal is to restore function, improve mobility and reduce pain so you can return to daily activities more comfortably.
Your surgeon will explain which implant approach fits your anatomy, diagnosis and goals.
When to Consider It
Signs It May Be Time for an Evaluation
Many patients explore hip replacement after months or years of progressive pain, stiffness and reduced activity. Common symptoms include:
- Hip pain that limits walking, stairs or standing
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion
- Pain that interferes with sleep
- Difficulty with normal daily tasks
- Symptoms that persist despite conservative care
