Hip Replacement Suitability Quiz

Self-assessment tool

Answer each question honestly — this tool will give you an instant indication of whether a hip replacement consultation may be appropriate. This is not a medical diagnosis. Always discuss your symptoms with a qualified clinician.
1How would you rate your hip pain overall?
2How often does hip pain disturb your sleep?
3How often does your hip feel like it's "giving way," locking, or grinding?
4How easy do you find it to walk (with or without a walking aid)?
5How easy is it to stand up after sitting for more than 30 minutes?
6How easy is it to climb or descend a flight of stairs?
7How easy is it to carry out everyday household chores?
8How easy is it to put on socks or shoes, or bend to reach your feet?
9How much has hip pain stopped you doing activities you enjoy (sport, hobbies, socialising)?
10How often do you take painkillers or anti-inflammatories for your hip?

These questions are not scored — they help identify important flags.

11Have you tried physiotherapy, weight management, or anti-inflammatory medication for at least 3 months without sufficient improvement?
12Has a doctor confirmed (e.g. via X-ray) that you have hip arthritis or significant joint damage?
13Did your hip pain start suddenly, following a fall or injury?
