Hip replacement surgery, also known as total hip arthroplasty, involves replacing damaged parts of the hip joint with a prosthetic implant. This procedure is particularly effective for relieving long-term pain caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip injuries.
• Key Objectives: Reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore quality of life
• Who Benefits: Ideal for individuals experiencing ongoing hip discomfort that hasn't responded to non-surgical treatments
Discover if hip replacement surgery is the right solution for you.
You may be a good candidate for hip replacement surgery if:
1. Persistent Hip Pain
Ongoing discomfort that interferes with your daily routine
2. Limited Mobility
Difficulty with walking, climbing stairs, or bending

Our orthopaedic consultants will conduct a thorough assessment of your symptoms and overall health before recommending surgery.
Speak to a specialist to explore your options.
1. First Appointment
Your journey begins with a free telephone consultation with one of our friendly surgical assistants. You'll discuss your symptoms, treatment options, pricing, and possible surgery dates. If you’re ready to move forward, you can secure a date with a refundable deposit.
2. Surgical Consultation
You’ll meet your consultant to review your medical history, desired outcomes, and treatment suitability. If surgery is appropriate, we’ll arrange pre-operative tests and walk you through the risks, benefits, and what to expect.
3. The Surgery
On the day of your surgery, you'll meet the clinical team and your anaesthetist. The operation typically takes 1–2 hours. Damaged joint surfaces are replaced with a custom-fit prosthesis designed to support a more natural range of motion.
4. Recovery
You’ll likely stay in hospital overnight. Our care team will help you begin mobilisation - usually within hours of the operation - to promote healing and reduce complications.
5. Aftercare
Your care continues long after surgery. Our comprehensive aftercare package includes follow-up appointments, 24/7 clinical support, and extended surgical cover if needed. We’ll support you throughout your recovery journey.

Hip Replacement Surgery FAQs
Most patients are walking with assistance within 1–2 days after surgery. Many people can walk independently after 6 weeks, depending on their rehabilitation and overall health.
In private healthcare, hip replacement surgery typically costs between £11,000 and £16,000 depending on the provider, implant type, and included services.
You may experience some discomfort following the operation, but this is well managed with medication and typically improves within the first couple of weeks.
Modern hip implants are designed to last 15–20 years or longer, especially when supported by a healthy lifestyle and regular follow-up care.
You can usually resume light daily activities within a few weeks. More demanding tasks and exercise routines should be introduced gradually, under professional guidance.
You should avoid sleeping on the operated side for several weeks. Sleeping on your non-operated side with a pillow between your legs is often recommended to keep your hips aligned.
We use high-quality implants made from durable materials such as metal alloys, ceramics, and medical-grade plastics. Your consultant will choose the implant that best fits your needs and lifestyle.
You’ll need to avoid high-impact activities like running or contact sports. However, most low-impact exercises such as walking, cycling, or swimming are encouraged after recovery, and your care team will guide you.
