You need a new hip

Like many thousands of people each year I was shocked when I was told I needed a new hip. This book shares my experiences leading up to the diagnosis and then the operation itself plus the first year of recovery. Hip replacements are very common but the author struggled to find out more than the basic facts of what the procedure involved, and certainly very little information existed for the quite lengthy recovery period. To help others that might be waiting for a replacement, or have just had one, this book might help to clear up some of the questions and will hopefully give you confidence for the eventual outcome.
