The hip degeneration that caused you to have a replacement may not be directly a result of steroids prescribed for your Crohn's or any bowel disease.
Long term effects of bowel disease can manifest in poor nutrition and essential vitamin and mineral absorption. This is often a contributing factor for osteoporosis and other joint problems. 50 to 70% of IBD patients develop symptoms of malnutrition.
Up to 30% of all long term bowel disease patients develop severe problems with osteoporosis which leads to hip fractures.
Long term use of high dose steroids in post menopausal women are particularly at risk.
I will provide a link to a website that can help further explain.
