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.
If you need a hip replacement, then age is not an issue.

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.
If you are coding for a facility for procedures you need 2 codes to completely capture the service: If it is for a total hip arthroplasty then you would code 81.51 plus the code for the bearing surface of the implant: 00.74 for metal on polyethelene, 00.75 metal on metal, 00.76 ceramic on ceramic, 00.77 ceramic on polyethelene. If it is for a partial hip arthroplasty then 81.52 plus the code for the bearing surface of the implant (00.74-00.77)
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.
