Hip Expectations: How to get through a hip replacement by someone who should know better

Hip Expectations is a practical, humorous guide for patients about to have a hip replacement, or for people about to care for someone when they get home. Written by Mr Jonathan Hull MD FRCS (ORTH) Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who, after many years of performing the operation, found himself as the patient about to receive the same treatment, wrote this guide to be as informative as it is down to earth.

"It encompasses all of the things that caused me to reach for Google at 4am when the hip pain had woken me in my pre-op weeks and months, and the little things I worried about post-op...The sort of practical, down-to-earth, advice that this book contains, is as relevant to a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery as it is to the non-medical patient." Mr Henry Tilney MD FRCS, Consultant Colorectal Surgeon and hip replacement patient
