Roald Dahl had a hip replacement surgery in 1965 after a car accident in New York.
a standard procedure for hip replacement; a newer technique known as minimally invasive surgery (MIS), pioneered in Chicago in February 2001; and revision surgery, which is done to replace a loosened or damaged prosthesis.
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.
If you have ever heard of medical tourism you know there are many options of traveling to different country and have specific treatment for less money but same quality as in your home country.
The cost and benefits of hip replacement surgery are many. For example if you want/would like to travel to Mexico for hip replacement surgery, you would be operated by the surgeons that has the same education as ones in U.S. as they went to United States for additional education. So, about quality of work - same or better as in America. This video can elaborate more about hip replacement in Mexico, cost and benefits of orthopedic surgery abroad.
Also, India is one of the top places medical travelers choose to go for various orthopedic treatments. It might seem too far to travel, but if you compare costs, benefits, aftercare and having the opportunity to travel for a holiday as well, you will make good life decision.
So, no matter where you choose to go abroad for medical tourism and hip replacement surgery, make sure you have done your homework and choose the best for you.

Hip Surgery Procedures
Conventional hip replacement surgery is a procedure that includes incisions determined by physical size. The muscles around the hip joint are detached, the ball joint of the hip removed, and replaced with a prosthesis or artificial joint. The artificial joint will be attached to the thighbone using special materials that allow bone to reattach to the new joint or by using a cement-like product. The surgeon then removes damaged cartilage and attaches a replacement socket to the hipbone. The new ball of the thighbone is inserted into the socket portion of the hip. The surgeon will then reattach severed muscles and close the incision.
This procedure usually requires an incision from 8 to 10 inches long along the side of the hip.
Minimally invasive surgery involves a one or two incision technique where the length of the incisions are half those that are commonly used for the conventional hip replacement surgeries. The one-incision surgical technique is commonly used for procedures that require less bone removal and involves an incision roughly 4 to 5 inches long. This incision is made either in the front or back of the hip. Other than the size of the incision, the technique for the actual replacement of the ball joint is the same as that in the conventional surgery.
The two-inch surgical procedure involves making two incisions that usually don' exceed 2 1/2 inches in length. One incision provides access from the front of the hip to place the prosthesis, while another small incision is made to the back of the hip to facilitate placement of the ball component. This procedure also eliminates the need to cut through muscles and tendons.
This surgical technique comes with a higher rate of complications, so while minimally invasive, does has its drawbacks. Hip resurfacing is a technique that replaces worn surfaces on the hip joint. Nothing is removed. This technique requires less bone to be removed than that involved in a hip replacement, and caters to physically active patients as well as those who are younger, with good bone health.

:I will add up to the first contributor's answer, it is right that if it is well set and is not a defective device therefore there should really be less to no swelling at all. But if there is swelling and more other symptoms that occur therefore that might be dangerous since there are some defective devices and some defective installations known, and might lead you to some serious problems in the long run. You can check on the link on my source to read about possible defects given by some of the hip implant devices.
On average, yes, the replacement parts do weigh a bit more than the natural bone.
Hip revision has different ICD-9 codes. 00.70 is the code for hip revision of the acetabular and femoral components. 00.71 is for acetabular component only and 00.72 is for femoral components. 81.53 is any hip revision that is not specified.
Not that I know of. I have been waiting for several years. Since I can't work. They will pay for a ton of x-rays and pain pills. The doctors are told not to. I will affect the patient in a positive way but it is not life threatening. Quality of life issues don't matter.
According to the PT the weight is comparable to the human parts removed. There should be no increase in weight . Expect to gain some weight do to lack of exercise.
A CT scan, yes. An MRI scan- maybe. It will depend on information from the manufacturer of the device you have implanted. Most are not affected by an MRI, but that is up to medical staff to determine.
It has more particles with more bonds, meaning it makes it more sturdy and stronger.
You should have your hip checked annually with an x-ray to look for wear. Squeaking can also be linked to ceramic on ceramic implants.
