What is a hip replacement surgery?
In a hip replacement surgery, a damaged or affected hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic alternative to the existing joint. They are offered to patients suffering from an injured hip joint, or where the bone has suffered from excessive wear, and usually to patients who are suffering from pain and impacted mobility as a result of the issue. Some of the common medical conditions and injuries that lead to hip replacement surgeries being conducted include:
Arthritis
Septic Arthritis
Osteoarthritis
Hip fracture
Hips dislocations
Orthopaedic issues affecting bone growth
Because of the degenerative nature of these conditions, hip replacements are typically done on patients between the ages of 60 and 80.
Hip replacement surgery gone wrong:
Hip replacement surgery gone wrong can occur at any point during the procedure.
This can be during the preparation before the procedure, such as the surgeon not checking if you have any medical conditions making you at higher risk of injury, obtaining consent, or failing to properly sanitise the equipment. It can also be caused by negligence during the surgery itself, such as not taking due care to avoid nerve endings, or monitor a patient’s heart rate during the surgery.
Hip replacement surgery medical negligence claims can also be made for inadequate post-surgery care.

What can go wrong with hip replacement surgery?
With the invasive nature of hip replacement surgery, there are a number of different ways in which it can go wrong, and patients can suffer from avoidable and unnecessary further injury.
Some of these include:
Infection due to defective or unhygienic medical equipment
Blood clots
Fractures due to bad surgical performance
Dislocations due to bad surgical performance
Hip replacement surgery being done on the wrong hip
Change in leg length due to negligent surgical performance
Nerve damage
Can you sue for a bad hip replacement?
A hip replacement surgical negligence claim can be made for any injuries that a patient suffers as a result of negligence and mistakes made during the hip replacement surgery. However, what this does not cover is reasonable and expected side effects associated with hip replacement surgery. If you have been warned of possible side effects of your surgery, and these side effects can occur even if the surgery was carried out well, such as unavoidable side effects, then you probably will not be eligible to make a hip replacement medical negligence claim.
For more information on your particular situation, and particular surgery, then contact MG Legal’s medical negligence solicitors for a no-obligation discussion of your potential hip replacement surgery medical negligence claim.

These fatal negligence claims can be particularly distressing for our clients, and can be more complicated to pursue. Because of this, you should get in touch with a medical negligence solicitor specialising in fatal negligence claims, such as MG Legal, as soon as possible, so we can get your claim started right away.

Can I sue if one leg longer after hip replacement?
For a medical negligence claim to be successful, it must be established that the injuries that you have caused were caused by the negligent actions of the surgeon or medical professional involved in your hip replacement surgery.
Generally speaking, if the difference in leg length is the only symptom of injury that you have following a hip replacement surgery, and the difference in leg length is less than one inch, or less than around 2.5cm, then you may not be eligible to make a hip replacement surgery medical negligence claim.
Hip replacement surgeries are notoriously complicated and difficult procedures, and slight differences in leg lengths can often be unavoidable, without being a sign that an act of negligence occurred.
However, if your difference in leg length is significant, usually above one inch in difference, or can be proven to have been caused by negligence, then you could well be eligible to make a claim for financial compensation through a hip replacement medical negligence claim. For more information on your specific situation, and to learn whether you are eligible to make a claim, simply contact MG Legal’s specialist medical negligence solicitors here for a no-obligation discussion.
Time limits for making a hip replacement medical negligence claim:
All medical negligence claims are subject to the 1980 Limitation Act, which sets a time limit of 3 years for claimants to pursue a medical negligence claim for financial compensation after being subject to medical negligence in a hip replacement surgery. If you are immediately aware of the negligence that has occurred, then these 3 years will begin from the date of the surgery. However, if you are not aware until a later date, then the period will begin from the date that you are aware of the negligence.
If you are making a fatal medical negligence claim, a wrongful death claim, or acting on behalf of someone with limited mental capacity, then these time limits may differ. For more information simply contact MG Legal and a specialist medical negligence solicitor will be on hand to explain the time limits involved in your specific claim, for no charge.
