When is hip replacement needed?

Hip replacement is considered when arthritis or hip joint damage causes pain that is not adequately controlled by conservative measures (medication, physiotherapy, weight management) and that meaningfully limits walking, sleep, work or daily life.

What is hip preservation surgery?

Hip preservation surgery — including hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral repair and cartilage procedures — addresses early hip joint problems before arthritis develops, aiming to delay or avoid the need for replacement.

How long does a modern hip replacement last?

Modern hip implants commonly last 20–25 years or longer, particularly with current bearing surfaces. Outcomes depend on patient activity level, implant choice and surgical technique.

Can I walk soon after hip replacement?

Most patients stand and take their first steps on the day of surgery or the day after, with crutches or a walker for support. Walking distance increases progressively over the first 2–6 weeks.

Total Hip Replacement

Often described as the "operation of the 20th century", total hip replacement reliably eliminates pain and restores mobility and function for patients with end-stage hip joint disease. Modern implants and bearing surfaces now commonly last 25 years or more.

Molecular & Biological Regenerative Therapy

A modern, biology-led therapy I learned and practised during my training in Germany, one of the leading European centres for autologous biological therapies. Concentrated healing cells and signalling molecules from the patient's own blood are injected directly into the affected joint, tendon or ligament, activating the body’s own repair mechanisms. Used worldwide, including in professional sport.
