Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, considering factors such as age, activity level, and long-term joint health. A careful, patient-focused approach is taken to ensure optimal outcomes, with attention to surgical precision, rehabilitation, and a smooth return to daily life.

What causes hip arthritis?2026-04-24T22:03:24+00:00

Hip arthritis usually develops over time rather than from a single cause. The most common reason is gradual wear of the joint cartilage with age. However, many people develop it earlier due to subtle issues with the shape of the hip, when the ball and socket don’t fit perfectly, it creates uneven pressure that slowly damages the joint. Previous injuries, such as fractures or dislocations, can also speed up this process. In some cases, genetics, inflammation, or increased load on the joint (including higher body weight or repetitive stress) contribute.

How do I know if I am suitable for hip surgery?2026-04-24T21:58:09+00:00

You should see a doctor if your hip pain is persistent (lasting more than a few weeks), limits your daily activities, wakes you at night, causes you to limp, or hasn’t improved with rest, pain medication, or physiotherapy.

How long do hip replacements last?2026-04-24T21:58:24+00:00
