It really depends on the relativity of the 'wearing'. If fully worn out, there are not a lot of options. If there is moderate wearing ( and pain), then there are some options available. Firstly lose weight if you have a BMI over 30, it will increase pain and the wearing.
There are some injections that may be able to help, but the clinical results from these are mixed.
It replaces the cartilage which is usually worn and painful.
Same reason anyoe else would have one - the oldhip was worn out or otherwise destroyed.
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 resurfacing or total hip replacement
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.

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.
Hip arthroplasty is a hip replacement. Arthropathy is any joint disease.
Both bipolar hip replacement and total hip replacement (THR) are surgical procedures designed to address hip joint issues, but they differ in purpose, design, and scope. Bipolar Hip Replacement: A type of partial hip replacement where the femoral head is replaced with a two-piece prosthetic system. The acetabulum (hip socket) is left intact. It is mainly used for conditions like fractures of the femoral neck. Total Hip Replacement (THR): A complete replacement of both the femoral head and the acetabulum with artificial prosthetics. It is used for advanced arthritis, avascular necrosis, or other chronic conditions causing joint damage.
