Can you have a pelvis replacement such as a hip replacement?

No. A lot of people are confused by the term "hip replacement", since the term hip and the term pelvis often refer to the same structure. However, a "hip replacement" only involves replace of the hip joint, and very little of the pelvic structure other than that. Recall that the legs are connected to the pelvis via a ball-and-socket type joint. In a hip replacement, the worn out, natural "socket" (known as the acetabulum) is replaced with synthetic replacement, while topmost end of the thigh bone (femur) is removed to allow installation of the synthetic (usually titanium) "ball".
