[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6684117, member: 54866"] You can have a hip replaced at any age: the newer ones they use have a modular build so certain parts can be easily replaced without having to take the lengthy part out of your femur (which is the more involved part of the op). Even if you wear one out they can be replaced totally or in part. Knees are the same. I have had hold of actual (demonstrators) replacement joints for knees and hips and had them to pieces to look at them. Actually heavier than you think but no more so than the originals. It is possible to have two joints replaced at the same time but they aren't keen on doing it. Physio will be needed after the operation and is absolutely key to recovery. You should be pain free from that joint as soon as you wake up and most people are able to do whatever they want in life once again. [/QUOTE]
