What Is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery replaces a damaged hip joint with an artificial one to reduce pain and improve movement. If you have long-term hip pain or stiffness that’s affecting your daily life, this procedure can help you move more freely and get back to the activities you enjoy.

"We are doing things at Elanic that were once thought impossible in a private setting. By combining decades of NHS pioneering work with world-class private infrastructure, we provide a hip replacement journey that is faster, safer, and entirely focused on the patient's quality of life."

— Kevin Bryceland, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon

"I wish I'd found Elanic earlier."

Thomas was in constant pain, struggling with a limp that kept him off the golf course. He reached out to Elanic, confident they’d get him sorted straight away. From the moment he woke up after surgery, the pain was gone. Thomas's only regret? Not making the call years ago.

Patient Reviews

Outstanding Care from Start to Finish

Two weeks post-op, I couldn’t praise Kevin Bryceland and the team more. From first call to discharge, everything was seamless, supportive, and professional. I’d have no hesitation undergoing a major operation with them again. – Eddie

Fast, Professional Service

My son saw Colin Drury at Elanic for knee pain. After reviewing his MRI, we received an immediate diagnosis. We’re now set for his procedure—he’ll be back to football and work pain-free soon. Brilliant turnaround. Thank you! – Debbie

So Grateful

I can’t tell you how grateful I am at the speed, and care I received from the admin staff to the nurses, and of course Mr Mahmood, the surgeon to whom I will be eternally grateful. To the nursing staff who had to show great patience and care, as I’m sensitive to most drugs, especially pain killers, but they got me through the pain, many thanks.

Reassuring and Informative Consultation

A very pleasant experience. I was put at ease, given a clear diagnosis, and my options were fully explained. The bookings team supported me with finance options, and I’m now looking forward to surgery and getting back to work. – Martyn

You’re in Safe Hands

Elanic is organised, friendly, and genuinely caring. Every staff member has been helpful and knowledgeable, even over the phone. They go above and beyond, giving you real confidence in their surgeons. Not sales-driven—just outstanding care. Thank you! – Ashley

Top Notch Care

The clinic and hospital are spotless and modern, but it’s the staff who make it exceptional. The nurses and doctors were attentive, kind, and highly professional. My overnight stay felt more like a relaxing minibreak. Truly top notch. – Sarah

An exceptional experience in every way.

From consultation to recovery, my experience at Elanic was outstanding. Mr. Kakar and the team were skilled, caring, and communicative. I was walking just two hours post-op. First-class care, excellent value, and a truly reassuring experience throughout.- Peter
