What types of hip operation do we perform? 

Hip pain due to degeneration of joints, membrane inflammation or other disease can be assessed by the Consultant Hip Surgeons at The Oxford Clinic who can perform the whole range of hip operations, including joint replacement and highly complex surgery that few private hospitals are able to offer due to lack of latest technologies and expertise.  The most common conditions and treatments are listed below. 

  • Hip arthroscopy – for unknown hip pain (diagnostic procedure), milder forms of arthritis, repair of torn labrum (cartilage in the joint), synovitis (inflammation of membrane lining the joint), diagnosis and clearance of infection, removal of loose bodies (such as small pieces of bone that have become loose), tumour biospy and excision.
  • Hip resurfacing arthroplasty – for osteoarthritic joint degeneration, differs from total hip replacement by being 'bone-preserving' and is usually performed on younger patients or those with otherwise good bone mass who may need another operation later in life.
  • Total hip replacement – for pain caused by osteoarthritic joint degeneration, deformity or other disease.
  • Revision hip replacement – repeat replacement of the same joint is a more complex operation requiring highly specialised equipment and expertise, revision can be necessitated by infected or uninfected loosening or other failure of the original prosthesis. Some or all components may need to be revised depending on which parts of the joint are affected by implants that have worn out.
