Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I need hip replacement surgery?

Hip replacement surgery may be recommended if severe hip pain, stiffness or reduced mobility is affecting your daily life and other treatments such as medication, physiotherapy or injections are no longer providing enough relief. Common causes include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip fractures and other joint conditions.

When should I speak to my specialist?

Speak to an orthopaedic specialist if hip pain is persistent, limits walking or daily activities, disturbs your sleep, or is not improving with medication and physiotherapy. A specialist can assess your condition and advise whether surgery or another treatment may be appropriate.

How will hip replacement surgery help me?

Hip replacement surgery aims to reduce pain, improve joint movement and help you return to everyday activities more comfortably. Results vary between patients, and recovery depends on factors such as your overall health, the condition of the joint and rehabilitation after surgery.

How is hip replacement surgery performed?

During hip replacement surgery, the damaged parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components designed to restore smoother movement. The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, followed by rehabilitation and physiotherapy to support recovery and mobility.
