What is a total hip replacement?
Total hip replacement is the surgery of choice for hip pain from osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis and avascular necrosis. This involves removing the worn out ball and socket and replacing it with special metal and plastic components to relieve you of your pain and give you back you mobility and function. Dr Godwin performs this via anterior and posterior hip approaches depending on your hip anatomy and complexity.
Personalised hip replacement
Every patients hip is unique and the way that your hip moves is specific to you. Dr Godwin uses the Optimised positioning system that uses X-rays, CT scans, computer modelling and 3D printed patient specific guides to determine the ideal position of each component of the hip replacement. This allows more accurate reconstruction, optimised stability and recreates your biomechanics to improve the outcomes of your hip.
