FAQs
Questions patients often ask
The right treatment depends on your diagnosis, symptoms, imaging and personal circumstances.
When might a hip replacement be considered?
Hip replacement may be considered when hip damage causes persistent pain, stiffness or loss of function that affects everyday activities and has not responded adequately to non-surgical measures. Osteoarthritis is among the most common reasons for hip replacement.
What happens during the procedure?
During a hip replacement, damaged bone and cartilage in the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components. The exact procedure and implant choice depend on your anatomy, diagnosis and surgeon’s recommendation.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies from person to person. Many patients begin walking with support shortly after surgery, while returning to normal daily activities and higher-impact exercise can take several months. Your rehabilitation plan will be tailored to your procedure and progress.
Can I use private medical insurance?
Yes. Our team can help you understand the information commonly required by insurers. Patients may also choose to self-fund their treatment; the final cost depends on the consultation, investigations, hospital stay, implants and rehabilitation required.
Do I need a referral?
A referral can be helpful, particularly if you have existing imaging or medical records. However, you can contact the clinic directly to arrange a private orthopaedic consultation and discuss your situation.
