Hip Pain & The Decision for Surgery

Is surgery likely to improve function, comfort and quality of life?

Hip pain can gradually affect every part of daily life — walking, climbing stairs, sitting comfortably, sleep, and even simple activities like putting on shoes or getting out of a chair.

Patients commonly describe:

  • Groin pain while walking

  • Stiffness while getting up

  • Limp while walking

  • Difficulty sitting cross-legged

  • Reduced confidence in movement

Some patients develop pain slowly due to arthritis, while others experience rapid deterioration because of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip. When medication, physiotherapy, injections, or activity modification no longer provide meaningful relief, hip replacement surgery may be considered.

The important question is not simply: “Do I need surgery?” It is: “Is surgery likely to improve function, comfort and quality of life meaningfully?” That decision requires careful evaluation.

Conditions Treated & Timing of Surgery

Robotic-assisted hip replacement may be considered in:

  • Hip arthritis

  • Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip

  • Severe stiffness and painful limitation of movement

  • Certain hip fractures in elderly patients

  • Failed previous hip surgery or implant wear

Hip replacement may be considered when:

  • Pain affects daily life and sleep is disturbed

  • Walking distance reduces significantly

  • Stiffness interferes with movement

  • Non-surgical treatments no longer provide help

The aim is not to “do surgery early” or “delay surgery unnecessarily.” The aim is to intervene at the right stage for the individual patient.

What Is Robotic Hip Replacement?

Robotic hip replacement is an advanced surgical technique designed to assist the surgeon with planning and precision during surgery. The robot does not perform the operation independently.

The surgery is performed by the surgeon, while the robotic platform helps support pre-operative planning, implant positioning, restoration of leg length, and optimisation of hip mechanics. This may help improve consistency and accuracy during surgery. Technology supports execution; surgical judgement remains central to outcome.

Why Implant Position and Hip Mechanics Matter

Hip replacement is not simply about replacing worn cartilage. The aim is to restore stable movement, comfortable walking, proper leg length, and balanced hip mechanics.

Small differences in implant positioning may influence stability, range of movement, recovery, and implant wear over time. Robotic-assisted planning may help support more accurate execution of the surgical plan, tailoring it to each patient's anatomy.

Potential Benefits

  • Improved accuracy of implant positioning

  • Better restoration of hip biomechanics

  • Reduced risk of leg length discrepancy

  • Improved stability in some cases

  • More consistent planning & early functional recovery

Note: Successful recovery still depends on correct indication, surgical technique, bone quality, rehabilitation, and patient motivation.

Why Seek a Second Opinion?

Patients often seek a second opinion when:

  • Advised surgery at a young age

  • Diagnosed with AVN

  • Unsure whether surgery is necessary

  • Considering robotic surgery

Recovery Milestones

Early standing & walking
Usually within 24–48 hours depending on patient condition.
Hospital stay
Typically around 3–5 days depending on recovery and medical status.
Routine activities
Most patients gradually improve confidence and mobility over 4–6 weeks.
Continued recovery
Strength, flexibility and endurance continue improving over several months.

Full recovery is a process rather than a single event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about robotic hip surgery? We've got answers.

Can I sit cross-legged after hip replacement?

This depends on implant type, surgical approach, flexibility, muscle condition, and recovery progress. Guidance is individualised for each patient.

How long does a hip replacement last?

Modern hip replacements often function well for 15–20 years or longer, although longevity depends on multiple factors including activity level, bone quality and implant wear.

Is robotic hip replacement better for everyone?

Not necessarily. Robotics is a tool that may support precision in selected cases. The overall outcome still depends on proper diagnosis, planning and rehabilitation.

Is recovery very painful?

Pain management protocols, early mobilisation and rehabilitation are important parts of recovery. Most patients notice progressive improvement in pain and mobility over time.
