Getting the decision right
Is hip replacement the right next step?
Hip replacement can become an option when hip arthritis or avascular necrosis (AVN) has severely affected the joint, everyday activities are becoming difficult and non-surgical treatment is no longer helping enough. A specialist review can clarify if replacement is needed now or if other treatment is still worth trying.
-
Hip pain and stiffness keep limiting everyday life
Walking, stairs, getting up from a chair, putting on shoes or normal daily activity are becoming increasingly difficult because of the hip.
-
Non-surgical treatment is no longer helping enough
Medicines, physiotherapy, activity changes or other non-surgical treatment are no longer giving enough relief.
-
Your doctor recommends hip replacement
You want to understand why surgery is being recommended, which operation or approach is being proposed and whether you have other options.
-
An earlier hip replacement is causing trouble
Pain, loosening, wear, infection or other problems with an existing hip replacement may need revision surgery.
Not sure about the recommendation?
A second opinion can review your symptoms, examination, scans and previous treatment before you decide on surgery. It can also clarify if replacement is needed now and which operation or approach fits your hip.
Choosing the right operation
First hip replacement or revision?
The main decision is whether this is your first hip replacement or surgery on an existing implant. For a first replacement, the surgical approach is a separate decision based on your anatomy and the details of the operation.
First hip replacement
Total hip replacement
Total hip replacement is considered when severe hip arthritis, AVN or other joint damage causes persistent pain and loss of function despite non-surgical treatment.
Surgical approach
Direct anterior approach
The direct anterior approach is one way of performing total hip replacement. The choice of approach is based on your anatomy and the details of the replacement.
Existing implant
Revision hip replacement
Revision surgery treats problems involving an earlier hip replacement, including pain, loosening, wear, infection, instability or changes around the implant.

He has 20+ years of clinical and surgical experience and has performed 3,000+ joint replacement surgeries. He trained in joint replacement at Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital in Dresden and in arthroscopic surgery at Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong.
