Hip replacement: your procedure
On the day of your procedure, our ward staff will show you to your room and get you settled in. If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait in your room while you have your operation.
Your consultant and surgical team will prepare you for your operation.
Anaesthetic options
Your anaesthetist will decide which anaesthetic is best for you. It will probably be a spinal anaesthetic with sedation, where you’ll be numb from the waist down.
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.
