In general a doctor is going to recommend and proceed with a hip replacement because it has been proven to have a positive outcome on quality of life, even considering the risks associated with surgery.

Someone getting a hip replacement is getting one because their existing hip is substantially impaired.

Yes it's better than their situation immediately before the surgery. It's probably not better than when they were thirty.
