Hip replacement: your procedure
When you come in for your operation, you’ll be with us for two to five days usually, but this can be up to five days. You’ll have one of our 28 large, bright private rooms. They all include:
- En-suite private bathroom
- TV
- Armchair
- WiFi
If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait in our restaurant or your room while you have your operation.
Here’s what will happen once you arrive at Spire Regency for your hip replacement operation:
- You’ll meet your surgeon and anaesthetist
- You'll have either a general anaesthetic, where you’re unconscious, or an epidural or spinal anaesthetic with sedation, where you're numb from the waist down
- If you have an epidural or spinal anaesthetic, your anaesthetist will also give you a sedative to help you relax
- 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
- The operation should take between an hour and an hour and a half

Hip replacement surgery: your recovery
Once your operation is finished, you’ll be taken back to your private room to start your recovery. You may feel some discomfort and swelling at first, which is completely normal. We’ll give you pain relief to help you and make sure you’re comfortable.
One of our physiotherapists will get you walking again on the same day of your operation. They'll give you some exercises you should do throughout your recovery to help you get the most from your operation.
Although everybody’s different and you should always follow your consultant’s advice, here’s a typical recovery timeline for hip replacement surgery:
