Brief Answer:
Do not worry about the complications.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.

It seems that you are suffering from severe osteoarthritis of hip joint and having no relief from conservative management.
Do not worry about the complications of hip replacement.
If you wish, you can attach your xray of hip joint so that I can help you in better ways.

Warm regards.
