Hip surgery

A summary of the surgical procedures Mr Gormack performs for hip conditions. Each procedure page covers technique, recovery and likely outcomes.

Total Hip Replacement

Worn or arthritic joint replaced with a prosthetic implant. Typically a 90-minute procedure, 2–3 nights in hospital, full recovery at 6 weeks.

Procedure detail

Anterior Approach Hip Replacement

Minimally invasive, muscle-sparing technique with the lowest dislocation rate and faster early recovery.

Procedure detail

Revision Hip Surgery

Re-doing some or all of a failed previous hip replacement. Longer, more complex surgery — 90% success in resolving infection and dislocation problems.

Procedure detail

Hip Arthroscopy

Keyhole surgery for FAI and labral repair using a camera and instruments through 2–3 small incisions.

Procedure detail

Proximal Hamstring Repair

Surgical repair of detached hamstring tendons at the pelvic attachment — 90% strength recovery with surgery vs 50% without.
