Mr William Aston
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
Speciality: Hip
Young Adult Hip
‘Young adult hip’ refers to a speciality of orthopaedics dealing with hip problems in people from adolescence until roughly age 50. It separates it from elderly hip conditions.
The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital are leaders in the treatment and research of all problems associated with the hip in adults.
Hip pain in young adults can be painful and debilitating. It affects every part of their life from work and family life to carrying out their normal activities and hobbies.
At RNOH Private Care we will talk to you about your history and experiences and carry out detailed examinations and assessments to support your healthcare journey. We will determine whether your symptoms are coming from your hip joints or elsewhere before providing you with care and treatment options with the goal of returning you to your normal activities as soon as possible.

How can I pay for treatment?
01Insured patients
We have contracts with the majority of insurers to cover the costs of your treatment. Before you attend either an outpatient appointment or being admitted to RNOH Private Care you must get authorisation from your insurer.
You will need to check with them your policy limits or restrictions and whether RNOH Private Care is in their chosen network of hospitals. Please ensure you have all the relevant details regarding your insurance, including your membership or policy number, when having any contact with our team.
Please be aware that you will be responsible for costs not covered by your insurance policy, such as any medication or equipment you are given to go home with. Our team will discuss these with you.
