  Hip Replacement Mortality     TABLE     BACK to List of Indicators D  R  A  F T
Planned replacement of a diseased hip joint with an artificial joint is a common procedure to treat disabling pain or improve hip function. The mortality rate is low for this procedure, as would be expected in a procedure designed to improve function rather than extend life. The patients are often elderly, and many have multiple medical conditions. Click here for instructions on interpreting this table
