Total Hip Replacement 

Total hip replacement involves replacing the damaged hip joint with a prosthetic implant. This procedure is often recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis or hip fractures, aiming to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve the overall quality of life.

Hip Resurfacing 

Hip resurfacing is an alternative to total hip replacement, particularly suitable for younger patients. Dr Douglas’s experience in hip resurfacing provides patients with an option that preserves more of the patient’s natural bone architecture, potentially offering a more natural joint function and feel.
