Your consultations
For your appointments, you’ll meet your consultant in one of our 21 consultation rooms. All of our rooms are accessible, which makes it easier if you find walking difficult prior to hip replacement.
Our dedicated orthopaedic consultants specialise in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal (bone and muscle) conditions. Here’s what will happen before your treatment:
Your consultations give you an opportunity to ask questions and discuss your expectations, needs and desires. Your consultant will then be able to outline a treatment and care plan that’s tailored to you. Both your initial consultation and tests at this stage are charged separately to the cost of any treatment needed.
Here’s what will happen once you arrive at Spire Cardiff Hospital for your hip replacement operation:
The operation should take between an hour and an hour and a half. If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait in our lounge or restaurant while you have your operation.
Head to our main hip replacement surgery page for step-by-step information about the procedure.
