There are several types of conditions requiring hip surgery, and it is recommended to seek medical attention if you experience significant pain, inflammation, and damage to your hip joints due to conditions such as:
During your surgery, Dr. Benoit will replace both ends of the damaged hip joint with artificial parts*.

The surgery replaces parts of the joint with artificial implants. The ball (head of the femur) and the socket (acetabulum) are replaced. The goal of the procedure is to allow you to return to your daily activities and exercise more comfortably.
Total hip replacement, a revolutionary advance in the field of orthopedic surgery, is transforming the lives of many individuals by providing an effective response to debilitating hip problems. This sophisticated surgical procedure aims to relieve pain, restore mobility and improve the quality of life of patients with serious joint disorders, such as osteoarthritis.
By replacing damaged surfaces of the hip with highly durable artificial implants, surgeons enable gradual recovery and a return to active daily life.
When your quality of life suffers due to hip pain, it may be time for hip replacement. Signs of reduced quality of life include: difficulty performing simple tasks such as walking, dressing, putting on shoes, going up and down stairs, getting restful sleep due to pain, getting up from sitting, as well as the inability to fully participate in the activities you enjoy.
On average, hip replacement surgeries last less than an hour. A double hip replacement may take longer. Complications during surgery could also prolong the duration of surgery. You may need imaging, such as an x-ray, immediately after the procedure and during recovery to check the success of your operation and the recovery of your new hip.
Replacement of both hips at the same time
Both left and right hips can be replaced in a single operation. A double hip replacement is also called a bilateral hip replacement.
If you are having problems with both hips, Dr. Benoit may recommend a double (bilateral) hip replacement if you are healthy and can tolerate the procedure.
