Hip replacement surgery (also called hip arthroplasty) involves removing the damaged surfaces of your hip joint, the “ball” at the top of your thigh bone (femur), and the “socket” in your pelvis and replacing them with prosthetic components to relieve pain and restore mobility.
We treat a wide range of surgical hip replacement options, including:
On the day of your hip implant surgery:

Ready to discuss whether hip replacement is right for you? Book a consultation with Mr Nasr today. We’ll review your hip condition, discuss all options including non-surgical treatments (e.g., hyaluronic acid hip injection, hip/knee injections) and decide the best path forward.
Yes — hip replacement is one of the most successful orthopaedic operations. However, like all surgery, there are risks. We’ll talk through these clearly at your consultation.
Risks include blood clots, infection, dislocation (particularly in the first six weeks), leg length discrepancy, nerve injury, and bleeding as well as medical complications such as heart and lung issues.
Patients will be able to discuss their anaesthetic for their operation with the Consultant Anaesthetist working with Mr Nasr. The vast majority of patients undergo a spinal anaesthetic which is a needle in the back to numb below the waist. You are then able to choose if you wish to have sedation or not which means that you can sleep comfortably during the surgery. A general anaesthetic is another option where a spinal anaesthetic is not appropriate, technically difficult or due to patient preference.
Many patients return to low-impact sports; if you’re younger and active, you might be suitable for hip resurfacing. We will discuss limitations and realistic expectations.
Carrying excess weight places an extra load on the joint and can increase surgical risk and affect recovery. We will work with you to optimise your weight and mobility first.
