Procedure Information |
Why might I need a hip replacement? Over time, the surfaces on the hip joint can start to wear. This can be caused by osteoarthritis or a previous injury to the hip. Osteoarthritis is painful as joints become stiff and inflamed when the smooth lining between the joints gets damaged or wears away. Without the protection of this lining, the rough surfaces of your bones rub together as you move, causing the pain that is all too common to sufferers. Simple, everyday things like going for a walk or even getting dressed become difficult. There’s no cure for osteoarthritis and it can get worse with time. However, joints can be replaced successfully, improving mobility and reducing pain. What happens during hip replacement? A variety of anaesthetic techniques can be used. Prior to your operation the anaesthetist will discuss these options with you Your surgeon’s choice of prosthesis will be based on several factors such as your age, your level of activity and your current condition. If you have concerns be sure and ask your surgeon about his prosthesis choice and the reasons behind it Both cemented and uncemented replacements are used at Nuffield Health Hospitals Your surgical wound will be closed with stitches, staples or steri-strips. |

Using two numbers, one from their website and another from a different nuffield health hospital, I have been on hold to get past the first options page for over an hour and a half just today. This is the only Nuffield hospital I have been directed to for my specific treatment requirements and I have spent days of attempts and hours on hold trying to get any information about the hospital or my specific enquiries. If I knew of another hospital that provides the treatment I need I would have given up long ago but as I am a captive market I cannot and instead am left finding it impossible to contact a relevant medical professional or even member of administrative staff. It seems like this issue would be solved by the hiring of more staff to man the phonelines, or a streamlining of the automatic directory. Either of these options would work and would not leave patients having to put aside significant sections of their day mutliple times just to try and talk to a representitive of the hospital. This is not a functional system for patients and it would be greatly appreciated if Nuffield Brighton could provide a method of introducing yourself to the hospital that actually allows you to do that. Thank you. |
