You'd be surprised at teh amount of clients that I deal with that have had hip replacements. Most are wealthy golfers that cannot "tolerate" having something "not feel right", and get a hip replacement. We have one orthopeadic group here in central CT, that really gets ALOT of business from the wealthier folks and replace hips left and right. If they have the money, the hip gets replaced like a new part--forget convservative measures (PT)---just geta new one. I haev some clients that have had 2-3 hip surgeries a piece!
