For those suffering with arthritis or other hip disease, total hip replacement can be life changing. Modern techniques and implants mean that we can provide patients with a hip which is individually designed to provide the best function and longevity possible. Minimized tissue dissection and intensive post operative care mean that immobilization is often less than twenty four hours, and discharge home can be within three to five days. Use of sticks can be as short as two to three weeks, and driving is regained by four to six weeks in most cases.
For private consultations, please contact Carol Gibb as shown in the Appointments section, or by contacting Bristol Nuffield or Spire Hospitals directly. I will be able to see you within one to two weeks, and provide you with a full explanation of your condition, and investigation and hip treatment options available to you.
For NHS referrals for Hip Replacement Surgery, please ask your GP to refer you to see me at either Frenchay Hospital or the Bristol Royal Infirmary. I am available on the 'Choose and Book' system.
I see patients, both for New Consultations and Follow up at the Nuffield and Spire hospitals (private referrals) and Frenchay and Bristol Royal Infirmary for NHS referrals.
My NHS operating takes place in the Avon Orthopaedic Centre at Southmead Hospital.
At first consultation, after introductions, we will discuss the start and progress of your condition, plus any related history in yourself or other family members. I will then perform a careful and thorough examination, before suggesting further investigations, which may include X-rays, MRI scans or even physiotherapy assessments.
Please feel free to ask questions at any stage if you are not clear with regards to what I am describing, or why we are suggesting certain tests or treatments.
