Answer: The type of hip replacement and form of operation you receive depends primarily on which consultants performs the operation. You need to find out what different consultants are recommending and get involved in the decision.
"Be sure you are assessed by an experienced high-volume hip surgeon (e.g. someone who performs more than100 hip replacements a year) who should advise you on whether or not hip replacement is required, what to expect, and his approach (preferably an ‘optimally’ invasive approach). Ideally they will have good links with well- regarded physiotherapists, an enhanced protocol, good Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS), a good reputation and good patient feedback. In this way you will be in good hands!"
