No, ORIF (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation) is not the same as a hip replacement. ORIF is a surgical procedure used to fix broken bones, typically by realigning the bone fragments and securing them with plates and screws. In contrast, a hip replacement involves removing damaged joint surfaces and replacing them with artificial components. While both procedures address hip-related issues, they serve different purposes and are used in different clinical scenarios.

Hip resurfacing or total hip replacement
Same reason anyoe else would have one - the oldhip was worn out or otherwise destroyed.
. How is ORIF performed
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".
Hip Replacement or hip arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to treat the damaged portion of the hip. A person who performs this procedure by making certain incisions to remove the damaged part of the hip and replacing them with prosthetic implants is a Hip Replacement surgeon.
If you need a hip replacement, then age is not an issue.

Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) is a surgical technique used to put fractured bones back into place and secure them with internal hardware like plates and screws, while arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to replace a joint with a prosthesis. ORIF is typically used for bone fractures, while arthroplasty is used for severe joint damage or degenerative conditions like arthritis.
Aftercare for hip revision surgery is essentially the same as for hip replacement surgery. The major difference is that some patients with very weak bones are asked to use canes or walkers
Hip replacements can be both. But a revision is simply when they have to re-operate, or revise an exisiting hip replacement, often by putting a new one in.
A replacement hip should not be squeaking. Contact your surgeon regarding this. There may be a recall on the replacement hip, or there may be a more simple solution. Do not assume that this is normal.
