Hip replacement delivers better life expectancy


Have you ever noticed a healthy hip in action? If not then you can watch a toddler move. If you see a child playing his legs always are moving freely. The body never appears to be fighting itself.
Signs of the healthy hip joint are that they must have the same range of motion allowing you to move in any direction without pain and limitation. Biologically a healthy hip should flex 120 to 130 degrees and the knees must remain over or outside the feet.
Our life is a long journey and there can be some healthy and bad times in our life, but as the time goes by medically we evolved as a strong species in both developing and a developed world. One of the things which have happened in the time of a century is that the life expectancy has doubled. Thanks to hip replacement therapy, which promises increased life expectancy.
What is life expectancy?
You may not be aware of the term life expectancy. It refers to the number of years a person is expected to live which is based on a statistical average and this expectancy depends on the geographical area and era. 
The life expectancy for a specific population depends on several factors such as
1. Lifestyle
2. Healthcare
3. Diet
4. Economic status
5. Relevant mortality
6. Morbidity data
As life expectancy is calculated based on averages a person may live for years more than expected.
Signs for hip replacement surgery
Hip replacement surgery is indicated when a hip problem arises and has reduced the quality of life-limiting the ability to perform everyday activities that others of the same age groups can. 
A hip replacement is typically indicated if you experience the below facts
1. If you have a hip pain that keeps you awake at night or wakes you and restricts your ability to get up from chair stairs or get into the car. Such a painful condition restricts you from enjoying activities such as walking, shopping or swimming.

2. You may have examined other methods for many months or more but still have persistence of pain.
