Total Hip Replacement has been and remains one of the most successful operations in surgery giving pain relief and restoration of mobility to countless thousands of hip arthritis sufferers.

This website aims to provide information on the history, development and current status of Hip Arthroplasty. The information is provided in a form that hopefully will be comprehensible by patients and health care professionals alike.

It is widely recognised that young and more active patients provide a challenge, that is at present, beyond the limitations of conventional Total Hip Replacement.
