Professor John Skinner
Private Consultant Orthopaedic Hip & Knee Surgeon
Hip treatments play a key role in diagnosing, managing, and rehabilitating a wide range of hip conditions that can affect mobility, comfort, and quality of life. Our approach covers conditions ranging from degenerative joint disorders to hip injuries, deformities, and joint disease. Using advanced diagnostic techniques, we accurately assess your condition and develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
Our hip treatment process begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify the underlying cause of your hip pain or mobility issues. One of our specialist consultants will explain your diagnosis in clear terms and outline the most appropriate treatment or surgical option for your condition.
You will be guided through the recommended procedure, including why it is advised, how it is performed, and what outcomes you can realistically expect. Once a personalised treatment plan is agreed upon, our focus is on delivering care that supports effective recovery and helps you return to everyday activities with improved movement, stability, and confidence.

Hip treatments can manage a wide range of conditions, including osteoarthritis, hip fractures, labral tears, bursitis, tendon injuries, hip impingement, and congenital or developmental hip deformities.
Diagnosis typically involves a detailed clinical assessment supported by imaging such as X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans. These investigations help specialists accurately identify the cause and severity of your hip condition.
Not all hip conditions require surgery. Many patients benefit from non-surgical options such as physiotherapy, pain management, lifestyle modifications, or guided injections. Surgery is recommended only when conservative treatments are no longer effective or when the condition requires surgical intervention.
Recovery depends on the type of treatment or surgery performed. Your consultant will explain expected recovery timelines, rehabilitation requirements, and any temporary activity limitations to support healing.
