There are a variety of conditions that can lead to hip joint deterioration resulting in pain, reduced range of motion and decreased quality of life. Those conditions include:

Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Osteonecrosis
Traumatic Arthritis
Non-Arthritic Trauma

As a treatment option, Dr. Rogerson may recommend total hip replacement surgery with a hip implant from Wright. Recent technology advances for hip surgery are the CONSERVE® Total Hip System with BFH® Technology, and the minimally-invasive PATH® Technique.
