FAQ
How do I know the source of pain is in my hip?
Hip pain is usually experienced in the groin, over the outer aspect of the hip or in the buttock region but can extend down the front of the thigh to the knee. It is rare for pain arising from the hip to be felt below the knee.
What results should I expect from surgery?
This depends on the problem the patient has, their overall medical situation and the precise diagnosis that is reached. The role of the surgeon is to explain clearly to the what is the expected outcome in their specific condition.
How long will I be in hospital?
The most common day to be discharged in the third post-operative day i.e. if your op is on a Monday then you will most likely leave hospital on the Thursday. However, many patients are safe for discharge on the second post-operative day.
