During your surgery, you will be given anaesthetic which will numb your lower body.

The operation usually takes between an hour and an hour and a half.
Your consultant orthopaedic surgeon will make an incision on the side of your hip
and will completely remove the damaged ball and socket, which will then be
replaced with an artificial joint.
The new joint will be made of metal, plastic, ceramic or a combination of these
materials.
