Did you know that 43% of all hip replacements in 2021-22 were for people aged between 50-69 years old?   It can be difficult for patients to decide when to have a hip replacement, but at Cromwell Hospital we offer the RapidRecovery hip replacement, which is an innovative, minimally invasive procedure that offers a shorter hospital stay and faster, less painful recovery compared to traditional surgery.   Unlike traditional hip replacements that often require several nights in hospital, 95% of RapidRecovery patients will be discharged home on either the same day as their procedure or the following day.    This service is led by globally renowned surgeon Dr. Kristian Kley, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Lead Specialist at Oveli Healthcare, provider of world-class advanced medical treatments in the UK. Patients can call us to make an appointment: 020 7244 4886   Find out more about the RapidRecovery hip replacement: bit.ly/3ZNRWHL
