-
If you needed a hip replacement now which prosthesis and procedure would you opt for?
-
What over-riding piece of advice would you give to someone considering having hip replacement?

Mr Stephen Jones explains, "Information is of key importance and your surgeon should be able to answer your questions and address your concerns, or be able to point you in the right direction to gain help."
