It
is common for men and women over the age of 60 to be affected by hip arthritis.
Even those younger than 60 can be afflicted by this progressive condition.
Hip arthritis can become so disabling that it may limit normal activities
and recreation. Everyday actions can become excruciating. The most common form of hip arthritis is osteoarthritis. You may have heard it referred to as wear-and-tear arthritis or degenerative joint disease. Osteoarthritis of the hip is characterized by progressive wearing away of the joint cartilage where the pelvis and thigh bone connect. After years of deterioration, many people find themselves in need of a total hip replacement. For more information about hip arthritis please visit Smith&Nephew.
