Welcome @beatriz22, I think it's always wise to look closely at all available options and discuss with your doctor or care team. There is another discussion you might find helpful:

It sounds like you are concerned about an infection if you get a hip replacement. Is that your main concern?

yes huge worry is infection in hip replacement area due to gum disease that wont ever go away. Already had teeth replaced here there and not in a position to replace all due to huge $$$ expenses. Tried prp injections , didnt work. Its just bone on bone no cartilage , caused leg to be a few centimeters shorter due but got shoe lifts... thank you for your welcome and other site to research,
