Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a hip replacement?
Patients who may benefit from hip replacement surgery often experience persistent hip pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, pain during walking, difficulty sleeping, or discomfort that affects everyday activities. Following rapid access to X-ray or MRI imaging, your consultant will provide a full diagnosis and discuss all available treatment options.
How quickly can I access a hip MRI or X-ray with Medinet?
Medinet provides rapid nationwide access to diagnostic imaging, including hip X-rays and MRI scans. We help patients avoid unnecessary delays and access expert consultant review as quickly as possible.
Do I need a referral to book a consultation?
In many cases, patients can enquire directly with Medinet to begin their diagnostic or treatment journey. Our experienced team can guide you through the next steps and arrange rapid access to imaging and consultant assessment.
What is minimally invasive hip replacement surgery?
Minimally invasive hip replacement surgery uses modern surgical techniques designed to reduce disruption to muscles and surrounding tissue compared with traditional approaches.
Benefits can include:
- Smaller incisions
- Reduced post-operative pain
- Faster recovery
- Earlier mobilisation
- Shorter hospital stays
- Earlier return to normal activities
Your consultant will discuss whether a minimally invasive approach is appropriate for you.
What are the benefits of minimally invasive hip replacement compared with traditional surgery?
Compared with traditional hip replacement techniques, minimally invasive surgery may help patients recover more quickly due to reduced soft tissue trauma.
Potential benefits include:
- Reduced muscle damage
- Less blood loss
- Reduced discomfort after surgery
- Faster rehabilitation
- Improved early mobility
- Reduced time in hospital
Many Medinet patients begin walking with physiotherapy support within hours of surgery.
Will I need a general anaesthetic for hip replacement surgery?
Most Medinet hip replacement patients undergo surgery using a spinal block combined with sedation rather than a general anaesthetic. This modern approach is widely recognised for supporting enhanced recovery and may help patients experience:
- Faster recovery after surgery
- Less nausea and grogginess
- Earlier physiotherapy
- Improved early pain control
Your anaesthetist will discuss the safest and most appropriate option for you.
How long will I stay in hospital after hip replacement surgery?
The majority of Medinet patients are discharged the morning following surgery, with many patients returning home safely on the same day depending on their recovery and clinical suitability. Our enhanced recovery pathway is designed to support early mobilisation and accelerated rehabilitation.
How long does recovery from hip replacement surgery take?
Every patient recovers differently; however many patients notice significant improvement in mobility and comfort within the first few weeks following surgery.
Patients are encouraged to begin movement and physiotherapy shortly after surgery as part of their recovery pathway. Most patients steadily return to normal daily activities over the following weeks and months.
What support will I receive after surgery?
Medinet provides comprehensive rehabilitation support following hip replacement surgery, including:
- Walking aids
- Home support equipment
- Physiotherapy guidance
- Structured mobility exercises
- Daily movement plans
- Follow-up care
Our recovery pathways are designed to help patients rebuild confidence, strength, and mobility safely.
How much does private hip replacement surgery cost?
Private hip replacement surgery with Medinet starts from £13,500.
Our pricing is transparent and designed to avoid hidden extras. Your package includes consultant-led care, hospital fees, anaesthetist fees, physiotherapy support, and follow-up care.
What type of hip replacement implants does Medinet use?
For the majority of patients, Medinet consultants use high-grade ceramic hip components chosen for their durability, wear characteristics, and long-term performance.
Your consultant will recommend the most appropriate prosthesis based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and long-term mobility goals.
Are Medinet orthopaedic consultants GMC registered?
Yes. All Medinet orthopaedic consultants are GMC registered specialists and highly experienced within their respective fields. Patients benefit from consultant-led care throughout every stage of their journey.
