How long does a hip replacement last?

Hip replacements typically last 10 to 20 years. In some cases, they may last up to 25 years. How long a hip replacement lasts can depend on the type of implant and the person's age at the time of surgery. A person can talk with their doctor to find out how long they expect the hip replacement to last and when they might need hip revision surgery.
