What is the cost of surgery and hospital stay?

The price will be based on the type of surgery you are going to be offered after the assessment. But for rough estimates the following bands are followed:

Minimally invasive hip replacement (between 5 and 7 days stay in the hospital)
£7250 to £8700 depending on the prosthesis used.

Minimally invasive hip resurfacing (between 5 and 7 days stay in the hospital)
£9550

(The final figure will be based on the assessment carried out by Mr G Chana)


How many days do I need to stay in the hospital? Recovery times

If you are a Non-Birmingham resident it is essential to stay at least 5 days in the hospital and the next 5 days in the neighbouring Nursing home to get fully mobilized before you go home.

If you are a resident of Birmingham, and if you are ready to go, you will spend 3 to 4 days before you can go home and be looked after by Home care team, which needs to be paid for.

It will be 6 weeks before you are able to fly home.

Driving is possible 4-6 weeks after the operation.


Do I have to come to Birmingham for assessment?

No. Initially you must complete the form and send a scanned copy of the x-rays of your pelvis and hip to Mr G Chana. You must also mention your height, weight and age to enable Mr G Chana to gauge what kind of surgery can be offered. By post the x-rays can be sent to the following address:

Mr G Chana, F.R.C.S.,Ed.
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust
Woodlands
