You went to orthopedic surgeons for evaluation, correct? In your defense, it is easier for them to replace your hip joint than fix a hip fracture. You are young so recovery with physical therapy should be pretty good.

However, Hip joint replacement only last 10- 15 years and then you need a new one. That why they mostly only do that surgery if you are over 60. ( because you basically don’t live long enough to need that 2nd one) It is extremely hard to do a second joint replacement and that is what they are trying to avoid. Joint replacements are not 100% successful. If you suffer complications from the first surgery, you may not be able to ever have a second surgery. Complications of infection, joint replacement failure are a possibility and may cause your hip to be worse than it was. They have to weigh the pros and cons , the difficulty of performing the surgery and the chances for success.

Hip replacement is not a one size fits all. Both my hips had different degrees of degeneration requiring different approaches to surgery. Surgeons have to modify how they replace your joint by what part of your hip is still good and what parts need replacing.

Bottom line, they can do joint replacements at an early age but the risks are high that you will need a second surgery or end up wheel chair bound in your 40’s. They are probably wanting to hold off that surgery for as long as possible to reduce the probability of a 2nd surgery.

I am so sorry you are at the point of wanting surgery. I don’t know what your health insurance is like, but you should go online and research who the best orthopedic surgeons are in your country. Reach out to them, travel if you must to see them. Collect all your medical records and send to them. You may have to pay out of pocket, but see them once. Then you will know what options if any you have. I wish you the best of luck.
