Our goal is to help you return to the sports you love, and enjoy a healthy, active life.

Hip Replacement
Over 50 years of combined orthopedic expertise in hip replacement surgery.
Our UVM Medical Group orthopedic surgeons at the Adult Reconstructive Surgery Center offer a level of expertise only available with those who have focused specifically on hip joints, performing hundreds of surgeries each year.
The types of hip treatment options at Fletcher Allen orthopedics include:
Partial Hip Replacement
A partial hip replacement may be recommended if only one part of your hip is damaged or diseased. In most cases, hip surgeons will leave the hip socket intact, and replace the ball side (the top of the thighbone) of the joint.
Total Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement is among the most common and successful of orthopedic surgeries. Fletcher Allen hip surgeons remove the top of your thighbone and replace your hip’s ball-and-socket mechanism with artificial implants. As a university hospital, we have access to the latest technology available, including a wide range of implants designed to match your age, gender and lifestyle.
- Surgeries on the increase
More and more patients are opting for hip replacement surgery at younger ages. In today’s world, as Baby Boomers with active lifestyles navigate middle age, many want to continue their favorite sports and activities as long as possible.
- Dramatic improvements
Improvements in surgical techniques and technology have greatly increased the effectiveness of total hip replacement surgery. In many cases, you are able to return to the activities you love with no pain. In fact, studies have shown that hip replacement has a greater impact on quality of life than many other types of orthopedic surgery.
