At Spire South Bank Hospital, our consultants have a wide experience in performing hip replacement surgery in our clean, modern facilities. We offer some of the latest surgical innovations, which may be beneficial to some patients. This includes minimally invasive surgery, which uses smaller incisions than traditional techniques, resulting in faster recovery.

We also have two laminar flow operating theatres which regulate air flow to minimise the risk of infection.

Getting here

Spire South Bank Hospital is conveniently close to Worcester and junction seven of the M5 motorway, which is just 2 miles away. Worcester Shrub Hill train station and Worcester Foregate Street station are also two miles away. Free on-site parking available to you and your visitors.

Your consultations

Before your treatment, you’ll meet your consultant in one of our 12 consultation rooms. All our rooms are accessible, so there’s no need to worry if walking is difficult for you. They’ll ask about your health, symptoms and answer any questions you may have.

If you haven’t been diagnosed yet, they may recommend our diagnostic tests and scans to help them assess your hip in more detail.

If you decide to go ahead with treatment, your consultant will advise you about:

• What your personalised treatment and care plan will involve
• Different types of prosthetic joints available
• Anaesthetic options
• Potential risks and complications
• Things you can do to help your recovery

Your consultant and surgical team will prepare you for your operation.

Anaesthetic options

When you’ve had time to settle into your private room, your anaesthetist will administer a general anaesthetic, where you’re completely asleep, or an epidural (spinal anaesthetic) where you’ll be numb from the waist down. If you’re having an epidural, you can also have sedatives to help you relax.

During your operation

Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, your surgeon will make one or more incisions in your hip, remove both the socket and the top of your thigh bone and replace them with a new artificial hip joint. A hip replacement surgery usually takes an hour to an hour and a half.

Your private room

When you come in for your operation, you’ll stay in one of our 15 large, bright private rooms, which will include:

• Armchair
• En-suite
• Freeview TV
• WiFi
• Window

For hip replacement surgery, you’ll stay with us for one to three days.

What happens

You’ll receive pain relief medication to help you recover in comfort. Your physiotherapist will get you moving as soon as you feel ready and will provide exercises to help you make the most of your hip replacement.

When you’re ready, your physiotherapist will help you walk again and provide exercises to boost your recovery.

Although everybody’s different and you should always follow your consultant’s advice, here’s a typical recovery timeline for knee replacement surgery:
