Our consultants have a wide experience in performing hip replacement surgery in our clean, modern facilities. Some of our consultants offer:

• Anterior hip replacement surgery, when incisions are made in the front of the hip, resulting in less pain and faster recovery than with traditional surgery
• Bilateral hip replacement, when both hips are replaced at the same time

Getting here

Spire Portsmouth Hospital is located on the border of West Sussex and Hampshire, a 15-minute drive from both Portsmouth and Chichester. Free on-site parking is available to patients and visitors, so you can arrange easy transportation right to our door.

Your consultations

Before your treatment, you’ll meet your consultant in one of our 15 consultation rooms, located on the ground floor. 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 be with us for three to four days. You’ll stay in one of our 48 large, bright private rooms, which will include:

• Armchair
• TV with Freeview
• Wardrobe
• Window

Friends or family can wait in our restaurant during your operation.

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:
