How do you know when hip pain and stiffness could mean it is time to consider a hip replacement?

Hip pain, stiffness, and limited mobility can make everyday activities more difficult. But how do you know when these symptoms could be signs of hip arthritis or indicate that it may be time to consider hip replacement surgery?

In this video, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Wind discusses three common signs he looks for when evaluating patients for hip replacement:

✅ Limping – Changes in the way you walk due to hip pain or discomfort.

✅ Difficulty putting on socks and shoes – Hip stiffness and reduced range of motion can make simple movements challenging.

✅ Trouble getting in and out of a car – Difficulty lifting or rotating your leg may indicate limited hip mobility.

While these symptoms do not necessarily mean you need surgery, they may be signs that it is time to consult an orthopedic specialist.

Is Knee Clicking Normal After Knee Replacement Surgery?

Have you noticed clicking, popping, or a mechanical feeling in your knee after knee replacement surgery?
In this video, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Wind explains why clicking after a total knee replacement is often normal and how the components of your new knee work together to support movement and stability.

During knee replacement surgery, damaged bone and cartilage are replaced with metal and plastic components. To allow your knee to bend and move naturally, a small amount of movement, known as physiological laxity, is necessary.

💡 The takeaway: Some clicking or mechanical sensations after knee replacement can be normal and do not necessarily indicate a problem. However, new or worsening symptoms, especially pain, swelling, or instability, should be discussed with your orthopedic surgeon.
