Question:
Is hip replacement only for injuries, or elderly women has it done all the time?
My hips clicks and pops
Answers:
Reasons for hip replacements can range from arthritis (the most frequent cause) to injury, AVN (necrosis of the bone), or dysplasia (congenital deformity) or other disorders. While most hip replacements are done in older people and the most frequent reason is osteoarthritis, the procedure is done on both men and women in a wide age range and for a variety of reasons.
If you're concerned with "clicks & pops" in your hips, why not mention it to your primary care doctor next time you have your annual physical.
