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. |

Whilst uneasy about using a private facility I cannot fault the experience. Staff are without exception polite, professional and approachable. The facilities are exemplary and immaculately clean and well presented. The service from initial contact was speedily expedited. |

I underwent total knee replacement surgery on two occasions in September 21 and Feb 23 and would like to say that on both occasions the treatment and care I received from the surgeon and nurses was exemplary . My stayin hospital was for 2/3 days and on discharge was given adequate medication and an ice cuff My wound was covered in a waterproof dressing and so was able to shower the day after the operation ,The clips were removed by a nurse at the doctors surgery after 10 days. The followup physio and excercises ensured myknee attained the maximum bend. However not all NHS providers in Plymouth are as helpful . My neighbour had a total knee replacement on 5th May this year. She was discharged the day following the operation with medication but no ice cuff. Her wound has been glued and covered Una waterproof dressing but with instructions not to shower for 2weeks When she rang her surgery for an appointment for the dressing to be changed in 10 daysan appointment was not available and she was told to go to A&E . I feel very fortunate to have attended the Nuffield for my operations and fail to see why other providers are not as effective. |

What can I say about the theatre team I had, top team, couldnt ask for more, had a full knee replacement and everyone played their part. I really am grateful for this team for putting me at ease and making sure this operation went as smoothly as it possibly could. |
