Hip Replacement

I was wondering if anyone knows the severity of this diagnosis 50 to 70 pct outside of socket. A friend of mine who has a seven year old Lab was recently told by orthopedic specialists that his dog needs hip replacement. Surgery is a last resort. Any recommendations that may help him to avoid putting his dog through this? How bad is it?
