Can anyone tell me what to expect regarding complications with hip replacements? My friend fell and now requires this surgery. Not sure if he fell related to fracture or for hgb of 5. Would like to know expected outcomes...good or bad from those with this experience! Thank you so much!

As one with a degenerating hip I too am interested in what others know about this subject of a hip transplant. Thanks .

Dr. Adam S. Levin at Johns Hopkins specializes in hip replacement surgery for cancer patients. I broke my pelvis due to metastatic PC and Dr. Levin did the replacement surgery. The results were wonderful. I was climbing stairs the day after surgery.
