Treatment for hip pain can range from injections designed to relieve symptoms through to joint replacement surgery for advanced hip disease.
For patients with severe arthritis or significant joint damage, a total hip replacement may be the most effective long term solution.
This procedure involves replacing the damaged hip joint with an artificial implant designed to reduce pain and restore function. Modern hip replacement surgery has excellent success rates and can significantly improve mobility and quality of life for suitable patients.
Many patients can achieve significant symptom relief without surgery. Hip joint injections are commonly used to reduce inflammation and pain within the hip joint.
These injections are often performed using imaging guidance to ensure accurate placement and may provide both diagnostic information and therapeutic benefits. They can be particularly helpful for patients with arthritis or other inflammatory conditions affecting the hip.
Pain on the outside of the hip is often caused by inflammation of the trochanteric bursa, a fluid-filled sac that helps reduce friction around the joint.
This injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area, helping to reduce pain and improve mobility. This can be highly effective for patients experiencing persistent lateral hip pain that has not responded to rest, physiotherapy, or medication.
From injections to partial or total knee replacement, treatment can be tailored to both the underlying knee condition and its impact on your mobility and quality of life.
A total knee replacement is often recommended for patients with advanced arthritis where the entire knee joint has become damaged. The procedure replaces the worn joint surfaces with artificial components, providing long term pain relief and improved mobility for many patients.
If arthritis affects only one part of the knee, a partial knee replacement may be a suitable alternative to a total replacement. This procedure preserves more of your natural knee while replacing only the damaged section, often resulting in a quicker recovery and a more natural-feeling joint.
A knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a variety of knee problems. Using a small camera inserted through tiny incisions, it allows the surgeon to assess the inside of the joint and treat certain conditions without the need for open surgery.
The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that cushions and stabilises the knee joint. When it becomes torn through injury or degeneration, it can cause pain, swelling, and locking of the knee. Meniscus surgery may involve repairing or removing the damaged portion of cartilage, helping to restore normal knee function.
For many patients, knee injections provide effective, non-surgical pain relief. Steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and improve mobility, particularly for those with arthritis or other inflammatory conditions. They may also be used to delay or avoid surgery where appropriate.
