Delaying Hip Surgery Could Speed Up Aging: The Science You Need to Know

There's some interesting new research that confirms what many of us instinctively know. Aging isn't a gradual process. It happens quite quickly in our mid 40s and again in our early 60s. We can mitigate some of the effects of aging to a certain extent by having a healthy lifestyle, but this is difficult if not impossible if you are living with the misery of a painful hip. Maybe you should bite the bullet and have surgery sooner than later if you are able.

In this video we will look at the research, and I'll tell you about an exciting bit of tech that I'm going to start using in my clinic to help you and me to know more about how healthy you are. This will inform our discussion about which type of hip replacement or resurfacing is right for you.

I am 6 weeks after surgery. Best thing I ever did.im glad i listened to you and walked and walked, even when swollen on crutches just walk.
3 weeks after pain and swelling start to go. Pain free and walking normally.

Exactly the advice i was given when I consulted about my deteriorating R hip in April. "You've got good genes" I was told. Get it done soon while you are still reasonably fit. You won't improve and the sooner it's done the longer you will have to benefit. Good advise I thought and I am now 4 weeks post R BHR and I am walking normally without pain and improving day by day. No regrets. I expect the BHR to last me 30 years. I am only 82 and my mother lived until she was 103 so I expect to get at least another 20 out of it.
