Occasional Paper No 17 - Total Hip Replacements in the North East

Total hip replacement (THR) is a common elective surgical procedure, with over 40,000 primary hip replacements performed by the NHS in England each year. This is a highly successful operation in reducing pain, increasing mobility and improving the quality of life of those suffering from worn or damaged hip joints. In this paper we aim to use Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) to explore variation in provision and outcome following a total hip replacement in the North East of England..
