Some of the most common reasons we perform hip surgery at The Park Hospital include:

Osteoarthritis

This type of arthritis causes chronic pain and stiffness, which in turn has a negative impact on your overall mobility and quality of life. This is the most common type of arthritis in the UK, occurring when the smooth cartilage which protects and cushions your joints becomes worn down over time. It tends to happen as we get older. Symptoms differ from person to person with osteoarthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

(RA) is an inflammatory joint condition caused by an autoimmune process, which occurs when your body attacks its healthy cells by mistake. This often causes severe pain, swelling, inflammation and limited mobility. RA can be managed with steroid injection therapy, but might need surgery to treat if your joints becoming increasingly damaged by the condition.

A fracture

Fractures are usually caused by a traumatic injury such as a contact sports injury, but they can sometimes be caused by a condition that weakens your hip bone, such as osteoporosis. A hip fracture can cause intense pain, making it impossible for you to move your leg.

Hip bursitis

Bursitis happens when the fluid filled sacs (known as bursa) that cushion and protect your joints become inflamed. This can result in pain and swelling in your joints. Usually it presents as a dull, aching pain that can persist even when you take traditional painkillers or try gentle stretching.

Whatever the cause of your hip pain, our consultants at The Park Hospital in Nottingham can help by providing a range of surgical treatment options.

We offer a variety of surgical procedures to treat chronic hip pain and problems, including:

Hip arthroscopy

An arthroscopy can help diagnose and treat a range of problems in your hip. It is a keyhole operation, which means it's performed using a few small cuts. Your surgeon will use specially designed surgical tools to access your hip joint through these small incisions, meaning they don't need to 'open up' your hip. One of these tools will be a camera (known as an arthroscope), allowing them to see inside your hip and perform surgery.

Hip replacement surgery

Hip replacement surgery involves removing bits of your hip joint that have become damaged and replacing them with artificial elements, also known as implants or a prosthesis. This should remove the source of your pain, helping you to walk more easily and letting you get back to living life as normal.

Hip debridement surgery

Hip debridement surgery removes damaged components surrounding your hip joint to help it to function properly and remain flexible. This damage might include excess bone or abnormal tissue, which is often associated with soft tissue lesions (abnormal tissue) in your hip joint.

Hip revision surgery

Hip replacements are highly effective in treating damage to your hip bone. They usually last for at least 15 years, with some lasting for more. Hip revision surgery is surgery to repair an artificial hip joint (prosthesis) that has become damaged or loose over time. It follows a similar process to hip replacement surgery.

No matter the surgery you need, we will ensure you get fast access to the best treatment for you with a consultant of your choice at The Park Hospital in Nottingham.

*These are just guide prices and only for patients who are paying for their own treatment. The actual cost of your treatment will be confirmed in writing at the time of booking.

You can usually see an orthopaedic specialist for your initial consultation within 48 hours of booking your appointment with us.

During this initial appointment, your consultant will ask about your general health and medical history. They will want to know about any existing medical conditions, as well as the current symptoms you are experiencing.

To assess your symptoms and make an accurate diagnosis of your pain, your consultant will next carry out a gentle physical examination of your hip. In some cases, they might also send you to get an X-ray, which will be done onsite by one of our radiographers. All of this helps your consultant to make a diagnosis of the cause of your hip pain.

The time you'll wait between your initial consultation and having surgery (or any other treatment you're recommended) will differ from person to person. For example, someone who has suffered a traumatic injury may need to be seen very quickly. Your consultant will provide you with a fixed timeline for treatment.

"I had a new hip in July 2022 and all the staff at The Park were brilliant, surgeon, anaesthetist, nurses and catering, everyone. I was well looked after and felt comfortable from the beginning to the end of my stay.

"I also received excellent aftercare from the physiotherapist, Heather who was amazing. She was interested in me, and I had full confidence in her knowledge and expertise. She made me feel at ease and my trust in her was justified.

"My surgeon was Mr Benjamin Bloch who listened to all my concerns that had made me delay having an operation for a long time. He was reassuring and easy to talk to and explained in simple language what was involved.

"Crutches and pain are now a distant memory and being able to walk properly again is a relief beyond words."

"Osteoarthritis of the hip can cause significant pain, stiffness, or problems with the function of your hip. The greatest benefit of a hip replacement is the significant reduction in pain, with almost all patients getting complete, or near complete relief from arthritic hip pain. Furthermore, patients can see a meaningful improvement in their mobility and hip function, allowing them to return to most activities without restraint.

"Hip arthritis can mean everyday activities and exercise are difficult to perform, however surgery can lead to freedom from pain and improved mobility without restraint.

"Hip conditions such as arthritis can negatively impact a person's quality of life and impair one's enjoyment from sporting pursuits and hobbies. It can affect patients of all ages. Hip surgery, such as joint replacement, is aimed at improving one's quality of life and getting patients back to doing the things they enjoy."
