Typical NHS wait time for surgery is over 26 weeks

    • Full or Partial Hip Replacement Surgery
    • Hip Replacement Revision & Renewal
    • Leading Orthopaedic Consultants
    • Cutting edge solutions. State of the art facilities

Are you suffering from hip pain? Is it affecting your mobility? Hip pain can cause severe discomfort and pain making normal day to day activities a struggle. Our team of experienced Orthopaedic Consultants are here to offer advice and treatment.

At Kingsbridge Private Hospital Ballykelly, our Orthopaedic Consultants are the best in their field. In the luxury surroundings of a 5-star private hospital, our team of experienced healthcare professionals offer consultations, tests, treatment and surgery for a wide range of hip conditions. 

Hip Replacement Surgery 

The hip joint is susceptible to general wear and tear and damage.  This can result in serious hip joint pain for some people. Hip pain can also be caused by various forms of arthritis, bone diseases, bone abnormalities, and injury. 

At Kingsbridge Private Hospital we provide a complete care package for full or partial hip replacement procedures. We offer hip replacement surgery to replace joints that have been damaged or worn away by injury or arthritis. We are also able to provide hip revisions of replacement hips that need to be renewed due to it becoming loose, infected or worn out.

What does Hip Replacement Surgery involve?

Hip replacement is one of the most common procedures performed for hip pain. This operation involves replacing a damaged or worn hip joint with an artificial version which provides long term relief from hip joint pain for many patients. 

In a normal hip joint the ‘ball’ at the top of your thigh bone (femur) moves smoothly in the ‘socket’ of your pelvis, which has a lining of shiny cartilage. The cartilage stops your bones from rubbing together and has no feeling (like fingernails). If this cartilage becomes worn away, the underlying bone becomes exposed and your joint will be painful and stiff, making walking and moving around painful. A new hip joint can help improve your mobility and reduce the pain.

What is the process of getting Hip Replacement Surgery?

At Kingsbridge Private Hospital we take care of the complete patient journey, from consultation to investigations to surgery, if required. Your safety and wellbeing is of paramount importance and our experienced team of expert Consultant Surgeons and nurses ensure you are always in safe hands.

At your consultation in Kingsbridge Private Hospital you will meet with an Orthopaedic Consultant who will assess your hip condition and will be able to provide information and advice on surgery to relieve your discomfort.

Each consultation is personalised to suit your needs but normal topics that will be covered include:

  • How a hip replacement is carried out
  • Advice on having a hip replacement
  • Advice on having a hip revision
  • Possible alternatives to having a hip replacement
  • Preparing for hip replacement
  • What happens during the surgery
  • What to expect afterwards
  • Recovering from hip replacement
  • Risks of having a hip replacement 
  • Your Consultant will explain all options that are available to you at your appointment.

Same Day Hip Replacement Surgery

At Kingsbridge Private Hospital we can now provide patients with the option of same day Hip Replacement Surgery. Where normal hip surgery techniques would require patients to remain in hospital for a number of days following surgery the enhanced recovery pathway enables patients to be discharged within 24 hours.

Patients are able to get back on their feet much earlier after surgery. This reduces the risks of complications and infection. Together with the benefit of being able to return home much sooner, patient outcomes are also greatly improved.

We offer a number of options when it comes to payment.  We work with all major health insurance companies and we also offer self-payment options including cash and credit and debit cards.  Payment plans are also available through our partnership with Chrysalis Finance.

Patient Testimonials

"I am extremely happy with the treatment, and with the standard of care I have received. There is no doubt as to whether this treatment is highly effective. I have had several cosmetic surgeries (although not on my face) but can say in comparing the results of the Spring Thread procedure with other less invasive treatments, the results are more in keeping with the surgical procedures I have had." Spring Thread Patient Review, Cosmetech at Kingsbridge Patient
"I had surgery here at the weekend and I can't recommend this place highly enough. They took great care of me and kept me at ease throughout my stay. The staff were brilliant, really friendly and chatted away and the food was top class. This hospital was better than any hotel I wonder could I book a weekend away in it when I fully recover?" Mr McGinnity, Kingsbridge Patient
"EXCELLENT - Had surgery today under the very caring Dr Stewart and her team. I cannot thank her enough for all she’s done for me over the past few months. Everything was explained to me in detail and all my care was considerate, professional and compassionate. Everyone I’ve met today has been beyond kind from Will the Anaesthetist, the Nurses and theatre staff, the catering staff - there has been no exception. Thank you all for taking care of me so well today - look forward to getting home tomorrow x" Mrs McAleavey, Kingsbridge Patient

The doctors Roger Wilson, Sherman, David, the nurses Susan, Sinead, Siobhan, Andrea, the catering staff who provided customised halal food, and the remaining team whose names I cannot remember were the kindest, nicest, politest, the most caring, professional and pleasant people we have ever come across in healthcare environment.

I arrived at 8.35am, taken to the ward at 8.45am (my admission time was 9am). Tended to by a lovely Nurse. Dr Roger Wilson spoke to me around 9.45am, in Theatre for 10am, recovery for 11.10am and now currently back on ward. These guys are awesome. From the consultant to anaesthetist to nurses to cater assistants. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much. I am so grateful to everyone at Kingsbridge for the service."

Many thanks x" Ms Forde, Kingsbridge Patient

"Can’t praise Kingsbridge Private Hospital enough!! I had an operation a couple of weeks ago and I was so well looked after. My surgeon Mr Rashid was fantastic, and the nursing staff was also fabulous. I found they communicated very well to each other, so everyone knew when my meds were due, my allergies etc. They were so kind, so lovely, constantly checked to see how I was i.e. my temperature etc. The food was fabulous and the catering staff very helpful having had an operation were very happy to accommodate ... Thank you to all!" Ms Cheong, Kingsbridge Patient
"Staff very friendly and very efficient. Surgeon and surgery top class. Big thanks to the Nurses for all their care and patience" Mr Howard, Kingsbridge Patient
"I was in your facility yesterday for a day procedure (operation on my left arm). I wanted to write and express how impressed I was with the facilities and more importantly the staff on the Ward.

Everyone was excellent, and I mean excellent, i don't normally write congratulatory e-mails so this is high praise in my view. The Senior nurse was excellent, as was the Theatre nurse and the anaesthetist. Even the assistants that helped with catering and other duties. All came together to form a great impression of the establishment." Jason Carpal Tunnel Surgery, Kingsbridge Patient
