The physical healing of hip arthritis can be complex and complicated. The incidence of arthritis is constantly advancing with increased longevity. Aging also leads to an increasing number of patients with osteoporosis (decreased bone mass) who “need” hip replacement for osteoarthritis. Osteoporosis has three major potential complications in total hip arthroplasty: perioperative (that is, near the time of the surgery) fracture, an increased risk of periprosthetic fracture (fracture of bones near the implant), and late aseptic loosening (loosening of hip replacement components).

Research examining the effects of osteoporosis on total hip replacement procedure outcome highlights the importance of an adequate study of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in patients who are candidates for hip surgery, as well as the need to start a suitable therapy to recover the bone mass before surgery.

Poor bone quality of the hip joint is an important risk factor limiting the durability and longevity of the hip replacement. This may lead the patient into life-long use of medications and drugs.

However, if we are prepping the patient for hip replacement by strengthening the bone to hold the artificial devices, why not regrow the bone and cartilage and repair the tissue with the goal of avoiding surgery?
