FAQs
What is a hip replacement?
A hip replacement involves a surgical procedure to replace part or all of a diseased or damaged hip joint with an artificial substitute-a prosthetic hip joint. The operation to replace or mend a joint is known as ‘arthroplasty’. The aim of a hip replacement is to alleviate pain and restore function in the hip joint.
When is a hip replacement necessary?
A hip replacement may become necessary to prevent pain and increase mobility if your hip joint is damaged as a result of disease or injury. The most common cause of hip replacements is osteoarthritis, but the procedure may also be necessary for people with rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, bone tumours or a fracture or dislocation affecting the hip joint.
What conditions are treated?
Dr Richard Harbury practices general orthopaedics with a particular subspecialty interest in knee arthroscopy and sports medicine of the knee (including ACL and other ligament reconstructions), knee replacement and hip replacement. Dr Harbury also performs most shoulder surgery and organises appropriate referral after review of people with complex shoulder problems.
