At Three Shires Hospital, you can get fast-track access to hip replacement surgery and treatment for hip pain.
Living with persistent hip pain can have a significant impact on your quality of life. Whether caused by arthritis, injury, or long-term wear and tear, hip pain can make even simple activities such as walking, climbing stairs, exercising, or getting out of a chair difficult and uncomfortable.
While some people can manage symptoms with physiotherapy, medication, or lifestyle changes, others may experience ongoing pain and reduced mobility that interferes with daily life.
If non-surgical treatments are no longer providing relief, a hip replacement may be the most effective way to reduce pain, restore movement, and help you return to the activities you enjoy.
At Three Shires Hospital, we offer fast and easy access to experienced orthopaedic consultants who specialise in diagnosing and treating hip conditions. Our multidisciplinary team will support you throughout your journey, from your initial consultation through to rehabilitation and recovery.
Whatever your concerns, we are here to support you at every stage of your care.
Hip replacement surgery may be recommended if your hip joint has become damaged or worn, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility that can no longer be effectively managed with non-surgical treatments.
You may be considered for a hip replacement if you experience:
The typical cost for a hip replacement at Three Shires Hospital is approximately £16,500 - £18,000*.
Our fixed-price packages include the cost of your surgery and appropriate aftercare consultations within your hospital treatment package. Please note that your initial consultation and any required pre-operative diagnostic tests are charged separately.
We also offer flexible payment options, helping you spread the cost of your treatment through monthly payment plans.
If you have private medical insurance, hip replacement surgery is commonly covered by many providers. We recommend checking directly with your insurer before your treatment begins.

At Three Shires Hospital, surgery is not always the first recommended treatment option for hip pain. Where appropriate, we will usually explore non-surgical treatments first to help manage your symptoms and avoid unnecessary procedures.
Hip replacement surgery is typically recommended when conservative treatments are no longer effective.
Non-surgical options we may recommend include:
Physiotherapy can help strengthen the muscles surrounding the hip joint, improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall function.
At Three Shires Hospital, our dedicated physiotherapy team provides personalised rehabilitation plans designed to help patients improve movement, maintain independence, and achieve the best possible outcomes.
For some, physiotherapy may successfully delay or remove the need for surgery.
Hip injections can provide temporary pain relief and reduce inflammation within the joint.
These minimally invasive treatments are often recommended for those whose symptoms persist despite physiotherapy and pain medication. Injections are administered by experienced specialists and may help improve mobility while supporting longer-term treatment plans.
If injections and other conservative treatments no longer provide you with adequate relief, your consultant may recommend hip replacement surgery.
Your consultant will discuss all available treatment options and guide you towards the most appropriate treatment for your individual circumstances.
Hip replacement surgery involves removing the damaged parts of the hip joint and replacing them with artificial components designed to replicate the natural movement of the hip.
The procedure is performed under anaesthetic and typically takes between one and two hours.
During surgery:
Recovery varies from person to person, but many patients notice a significant improvement in pain and mobility after surgery.
Most patients begin moving with support on the day of surgery or the following day under the guidance of our physiotherapy team. Getting up and moving soon after surgery helps promote healing, reduces stiffness, improves blood flow, and helps you regain confidence, strength and independence as quickly as possible.
Throughout your recovery, our experienced physiotherapists will work closely with you to create a personalised rehabilitation programme tailored to your individual needs and goals. With access to specialist physiotherapy support and ongoing guidance at every stage of your recovery, you'll have the support you need to maximise the benefits of your surgery.
Your consultant and physiotherapist will provide a personalised recovery plan and ongoing support throughout your rehabilitation.
