Recognising the Signs
Signs You Need a
Hip Replacement
You may need a specialist assessment with Mr. Anshul Sobti if you experience:
01
Difficulty Walking & Weight-Bearing
You struggle to walk even short distances without a limp,
or require a walking stick to maintain balance.
02
Severe, Radiating Pain
Deep, aching pain in your groin, outer thigh, or buttocks
— flaring up when climbing stairs or rising from a chair.
03
Sleep Disruption
Joint pain consistently wakes you when you roll onto your
side, disrupting normal sleep cycles.
04
Profound Joint Stiffness
Incredibly difficult to bend down to put on shoes and
socks; severe stiffness after sitting for prolonged periods.
Our Approach
When Non-Surgical Treatment Stops Being Enough
A responsible orthopaedic approach ensures all conservative measures are explored before surgery.
01
STEP 01
Early Stage Management
Targeted physiotherapy to strengthen hip muscles. Weight management to reduce joint load. Activity modification to avoid high-impact aggravation.
02
STEP 02
Medical Interventions
Prescribed NSAIDs and ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections to temporarily relieve severe joint inflammation.
03
STEP 03
The Surgical Threshold
When cartilage loss becomes complete and injections yield diminishing returns, hip replacement becomes a medical necessity to restore function.

Treatment Options
Mr. Sobti utilises comprehensive diagnostic imaging to customise your surgical plan, taking into account your age, bone density, and activity level.
THA01
Total Hip Replacement Surgery
The damaged femoral head is removed and replaced with medical-grade ceramic or metal. The socket is fitted with a titanium shell and durable polyethylene or ceramic liner.
Best for: Severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip dysplasia in
adults
MIS02

Advanced techniques that access the hip joint by working between the muscles rather than cutting through them — including the anterior approach or specialised posterior techniques.
Best for: Suitable candidates seeking fast recovery and less post-op pain
Revision03
Complex Revision Hip Surgery
A highly specialised operation to remove and replace a previously implanted artificial hip that has worn out, loosened, or become infected. Dual Consultant Operating per national guidance.
Best for: Patients with worn or loosened implants from 15–20 years ago
| Treatment Stage | Best For... | Key Benefits | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specialist Physiotherapy | Early stiffness & muscle weakness | Improved joint support & flexibility | Ongoing |
| Steroid Injections | Acute inflammation & severe flares | Rapid, temporary pain relief | 3 – 6 Months |
| Total Hip Replacement | End-stage bone-on-bone arthritis | Permanent pain relief & mobility | 20+ Years |
| Revision Hip Surgery | Worn out or loosened old implants | Restored joint stability & function | Varies by case |
Your Pathway
The Patient Journey: Diagnosis to Day of Surgery
We ensure your patient pathway is transparent, supportive, and meticulously planned.
1
The First Consultation
A detailed discussion of your symptom history and a physical examination
assessing your gait and hip rotation.
2
Imaging and Tests
Rapid-access digital X-rays to assess bone-on-bone wear. MRI scans if soft
tissue or complex bone cysts need evaluation.
3
Treatment Planning
Reviewing scans together in clear language. Discussing the surgical approach,
implant materials, and robotic options if applicable.
4
Preparing for Surgery
Pre-operative medical review (blood tests, ECG). Guidance on home planning,
mobility aids, and pre-op fasting.
5
What Happens on the Day
Admission to your private room and meeting the anaesthetist. The operation (1.5
to 2 hours) utilising spinal anaesthesia for excellent pain relief.
6
Early Mobilisation
Standing and walking with physiotherapy support within hours of surgery to
promote blood flow and prevent clots.
Rehabilitation
Hip Replacement Recovery Explain
Recovery is a partnership between surgical precision and your commitment to rehabilitation.
Phase 1
Hospital Stay
Focus on pain management and safe mobilisation. Learning to walk with a frame or crutches. Discharge home once you can safely manage stairs.
Phase 2
At Home
Strict adherence to prescribed pain medication. Gentle daily physiotherapy exercises to prevent stiffness. Wound check and removal of clips around day 14.
Phase 3
Building Strength
Transitioning from two crutches to one walking stick. Significant reduction in deep joint pain. Walking without crutches is often achieved toward the end of this phase.
Phase 4
Daily Activities
Cleared to drive once you can perform an emergency stop pain-free. Return to office-based work. Low-impact activities like swimming or a stationary bike.
Phase 5
Full Recovery
The joint feels natural and stable. Return to recreational golf, long walks, and a fully pain-free, active lifestyle.
Expert Tips for a Successful Hip Recovery
Keep Moving
Frequent, short walks are better than one long, exhausting walk in the early days.
Avoid The 90-Degree Rule
For the first 6 weeks, avoid bending your hip past 90 degrees — e.g. sitting in very low chairs.
Optimise Your Home
Remove loose rugs and ensure you have a high chair with arms to make sitting and standing easier.
Listen to Your Body
It is normal to feel tired in the first weeks as your body heals. Prioritise sleep and high-quality nutrition.

Common Question
Common Questions Patients Ask In Clinic
How long will my new Hip implant last?
Modern hip implants have improved significantly over the past two decades. Current data from the National Joint Registry shows that more than 95% of primary total hip replacements are still functioning well at 10 years, and around 80% remain intact at 20 years. Longevity depends on your body weight, activity level, and the type of bearing surface used. Mr. Sobti will discuss the implant options best suited to your age, bone quality, and lifestyle during your consultation.
What is the difference between NHS and private hip replacement?
Is it better to go private or wait on the NHS list?
Am I too young, or too old, for a hip replacement?
What are hip precautions, and how long do I need to follow them?
When can I drive after hip replacement?
Can both hips be replaced at the same time?
