Frequently Asked Questions About the Hip Replacement Candidate Quiz

Q: What is the Hip Replacement Candidate Quiz?
A: This is a quick, interactive self-assessment designed to help you determine if your symptoms—like persistent hip pain, stiffness, or limited mobility—might indicate the need to consult a surgeon. It’s informative, but not a substitute for a professional diagnosis.

Q: Is the quiz medically validated?
A: No—it’s not a clinical tool. Think of it as a guide to help you decide whether it’s time to schedule a consultation with one of our hip replacement specialists.

Q: What kind of questions will I be asked?
A: You’ll be prompted with straightforward Yes/No questions, such as whether your hip pain persists when resting or if conservative treatments (like physical therapy or injections) haven’t relieved symptoms. You’ll also be asked for your age and email address so results can be emailed to you.

Q: What should I do if the quiz suggests I might be a candidate?
A: If the results point toward needing further evaluation, the next step is to schedule an appointment. A physical exam, imaging, or additional testing may be necessary to confirm whether hip replacement is appropriate.
