You rely on your hips for just about everything you do. So, experiencing pain in your hip joints can keep you from performing even the most elementary of tasks. If you have pain in one or both of your hips, don’t delay in visiting Premier Bone & Joint Centers at our satellite clinic in Riverton, Wyoming. Our board-certified, fellowship-trained specialists can provide an accurate diagnosis and determine if hip replacement surgery is an appropriate course of action for you.

Possible Causes of Hip Pain

A ball-shaped femoral head and a socket-shaped acetabulum comprises your hip joint. In between the femoral head and acetabulum is a thick layer of cartilage and synovial fluid, which allows your joint to move smoothly. Individuals often experience hip pain when this buffer begins to break down, which can be caused by:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Osteonecrosis

Our Approach to Hip Replacement Surgery

When you visit our office in Riverton, WY, you’ll be seen by one of our qualified specialists who will assess the severity of your pain and determine if a hip replacement is the best treatment option. Hip replacement surgery involves removing the damage portion of the hip joint and replacing it with a prosthetic ball and joint socket.
