If you would like to know about hip replacement surgery, and the cost of hip replacement, the following information will be of interest to you.
Hip replacement surgery, or arthroplasty, is usually undertaken when osteoarthritis has resulted in the wearing down of the hip joint. In a hip replacement operation the worn out and arthritic parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with a new, artificial hip joint. The new hip joint is called a prosthesis. Total hip replacement surgery should improve an individual's mobility, by reducing pain and improving the function of the hip joint.
What does it cost?
The cost of hip replacement in a UK private hospital or clinic is around £7,000 to £9,000, inclusive of private hospital charges and consultant’s fees. The price may vary depending on how long you need to stay in hospital, and the type of hip replacement that is used.
