Congratulations to this British lady who is the oldest to have hip surgery.
You are never too old to have your hip replaced. This is the moral of this story from the UK showing with ur aging but active population this is becoming more routine. With older patients we need to be more careful with anaesthetics and we often choose different prosthesis all aimed at maximising quality of life, while minimising risk.

It’s great to see our older patients still active and enjoying life as seen in this clip from the UK. Hip replacements are designed to get patients of all ages back on their feet and active again.

Hip replacements in young patients are becoming more and more popular as per this article. MHK surgeons are running education sessions for GPs this year including how to choose a prosthesis for your patient. If your GP wants to attend one of our education sessions please ask them to contact our practice manager Claire who can help facilitate this. https://www.melbournehipandknee.com.au/contact.html
