Directed by Bob BuruchianS15 • E4 Dec 24, 2009 26m
When people suffer with arthritis in their hips virtually every step they take can be pain-filled and agonizing. This can seriously impair their quality of life of course and this pain can interfere with their ability to make a living. There are many treatments to help alleviate the pain but eventually some people opt for a surgical procedure to replace their hips. In this program we take a look at hip replacement surgery today and see how it has changed over the years. We also meet patients who decided that hip replacement was the right choice for them and hear about their lives before the surgery, the operation itself, their recovery afterwards and how it has changed their lives.
