I understand your concern for your health condition. As per your history you have not mentioned about your extent of liver dysfunction. But on the other hand if you don't go for hip surgery then it will make the things worse for you in future. So i would suggest that hip replacement surgery can be done with liver dysfunction with accepting the risk associated with it. I would suggest to consult your orthopedic surgeon and plan for surgery. I hope my answer will be of help to you. Wish you speedy recovery.
