Hip Replacement

Hip replacement removes the damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with a durable implant to relieve pain and restore comfortable movement. Approaches are chosen to suit your anatomy, and standing and walking with support usually begin within one to two days after surgery. Structured rehabilitation over several weeks helps you regain strength, balance and range of motion.

Hip Replacement explained

Hip replacement replaces a worn or damaged hip joint with durable implants to relieve pain and restore mobility.

What is a hip replacement?

In a hip replacement, the surgeon replaces the worn ball-and-socket of the hip joint with smooth implants. It's used mainly for advanced hip arthritis or damage that causes ongoing pain and limits movement, and is one of the most established orthopedic procedures.

Is it right for me?

It's usually considered for adults with significant hip arthritis or damage whose pain affects daily life and hasn't improved with non-surgical care. Your surgeon reviews your X-rays and symptoms and explains the approach that suits you.

How it's done, step by step

  1. 1

    Assessment: X-rays, examination and planning.

  2. 2

    Anaesthetic: general or spinal anaesthetic, decided with your team.

  3. 3

    Replacement: the worn joint is replaced with the implant.

  4. 4

    Alignment & closure: the hip is positioned and the incision closed.

  5. 5

    Rehabilitation: early physiotherapy begins to restore movement.

What you'll experience

It's an inpatient procedure with a short hospital stay, followed by prompt physiotherapy. Your consultant coordinates your stay, rehabilitation and follow-up in your language.

Recovery & results timeline

You'll start moving with support soon after surgery and follow a structured rehabilitation plan over the following weeks and months. Mobility and comfort improve gradually under the guidance of your surgeon and physiotherapist.
