Getting the decision right
Is hip replacement the right next step?
Hip replacement may become a consideration when hip arthritis or avascular necrosis (AVN) has severely affected the joint, everyday activity is becoming difficult and non-surgical treatment is no longer helping enough. A specialist review can help clarify whether replacement makes sense now or whether other treatment is still worth considering.
-
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 whether surgery makes sense now and what operation or approach may be appropriate.
-
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 help clarify whether replacement is needed now and what operation or approach may be appropriate.
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 that depends on your anatomy and the operation being planned.
First hip replacement
Total hip replacement
Total hip replacement may be 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. Whether it is appropriate depends on your anatomy and the operation being planned.
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.
Why specialist experience matters
Why choose a hip replacement specialist?
A good hip replacement decision starts before the operation. The surgeon needs to confirm the diagnosis, judge whether replacement is appropriate and decide which operation and surgical approach fit the problem.
