Hip Replacement for Overweight COPD Patient: Possible

Patient's Query

My father is extremely overweight and has COPD and Emphysema, can he have a hip replacement

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

YES, your FATHER can have a hip replacement surgery.. However, his weight and lung problems can increase the risk of complications during and after the surgery. He will need to work closely with his doctors to prepare for the surgery and manage his conditions. Losing weight and improving lung function before the surgery can help reduce the risk of complications and improve the outcome.. It is important that he follows his doctor's advice and instructions for a safe and successful surgery..
