X-rays attached
Good evening. I had an accident and got cemented hip replacement in 2011. Last 6 months I am unable to walk properly and I'm falling down when I am cross walking and walking on uneven surface. I have consulted 2-3 surgeons. One of them is saying to go for surgery immediately. Other saying not required surgery at present. I have taken the x-rays. It's clear without any fracture and any loosen. If I go for surgery what are the options. How many days to stay at hospital after surgery. Can I go for non cemented surgery.

Your current symptoms probably are not related to the hip and they seem more due to weakness of the muscles around the knee and hip. If you are currently experiencing difficulty in getting up after sitting then that is the sign of weakened leg muscles.
