Yahoo! News – Total hip replacements are very beneficial and highly economical for the seniors who are suffering from osteoarthritis. This is regardless of their age. But then, since this is an invasive surgery that takes a lot of time to heal, physicians do not offer this option to those who are 85 years old and above and this is also the same reason why those who are older are reluctant in getting the treatment.

Researchers found out that hip replacement improves the everyday life for patients and it is as beneficial to those in their 80s or 90s as it is for someone who is in their 60s.

Getting a hip replacement is a good way to keep the seniors mobile and avoid falls and slips that may cause further injuries. If you think that this is what you need, consult your physician and check if you can avail the treatment.
