HIP CONDITIONS
Some of the conditions we treat
Hip dysplasia
Hip dysplasia is a condition where the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint don't form properly. At HCA UK, our hip specialists can help you access early diagnosis and tailor a treatment plan just for you.
Hip arthritis
Fast access to advanced imaging and diagnostics with tailored treatment plans for hip pain and mobility issues.
Tendonitis
Tendonitis is the inflammation of the connective tissues between your muscles and bones. If your symptoms aren't improving, our orthopaedic specialists offer effective diagnosis and treatment.
OUR SERVICES
Specialist treatment for your hip pain or injury
Hip arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure to treat a range of hip problems using keyhole surgery. The smaller incision means less pain and a faster recovery time then open surgery, and it can delay the need for a hip replacement.
Hip replacement surgery
Hip replacement surgery is a specialist operation to replace your entire hip with an artificial one to relieve pain and increase your mobility. Get in touch for expert advice and care from our specialist consultants.
Hip preservation
Our specialist-led hip preservation treatment uses advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive orthopaedic techniques to help alleviate pain, restore mobility and delay surgery. Book a consultation today.

01
Initial consultation
Whether you’ve been referred by your GP or have self-referred, the first step will be a consultation with one of our hip specialists to find out more about your medical history, symptoms and your overall health and lifestyle. Perhaps you haven’t responded to conservative pain medication or physical therapy and want to find out what else can help.
02
Tests and scans
During your initial appointment, your consultant will examine you and may request imaging scans such as X-ray or MRI, as well as blood tests. Your scans will be reviewed by a specialist musculoskeletal radiologist together with your consultant.
03
Treatment
Once they’ve confirmed a diagnosis, our specialists will recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you. Depending on your condition, that may include lifestyle changes, physiotherapy referral, or even surgical interventions such as joint preservation or hip replacement surgery.
At HCA UK we put together personalised treatments that fully meet your needs. Your hip specialist will always discuss the options with you and agree the best course of treatment.

Hip and pelvis FAQs
At HCA UK, we offer a wide range of treatments, including non-surgical options for hip injuries as well as congenital and degenerative hip and pelvis conditions in adults and children, including:
- Hip dysplasia
- Hip arthritis
- Hip tendonitis
As a leading provider of private orthopaedic care, we offer rapid access to expert private hip and pelvis specialists across London and Birmingham. It means you will have a confirmed appointment with an expert consultant in as little as 24 hours.
If your mobility is impaired and your hip pain isn't responding to pain relief or physiotherapy, it’s important to seek help as soon as possible. When we feel stiffness and pain, the natural reaction is to avoid moving the hip as much. However, this can weaken the hip further, often transferring the load to the other joints.
Our hip specialists, supported by expert multidisciplinary teams are here to investigate and treat pain, stiffness and immobility. You can book your initial appointment with a hip and pelvis consultant online or by phone.
