What We Offer

Hip replacement surgery is a highly successful procedure for patients suffering from severe hip arthritis, fractures, or other conditions that cause debilitating pain and limit mobility. Dr. Laric utilises both total hip replacement, where both the ball and socket are replaced, and partial hip replacement for specific conditions like femoral neck fractures. Using advanced surgical techniques, including minimally invasive approaches when appropriate, and modern implant materials, Dr. Laric helps patients achieve excellent long-term outcomes. The procedure involves replacing the damaged hip joint with prosthetic components designed to restore normal hip function, eliminate pain, and allow patients to return to their daily activities with renewed confidence and mobility.

Hip revision surgery is a specialised procedure required when a previous hip replacement needs to be replaced or repaired due to complications such as implant loosening, wear, infection, or mechanical failure. Dr. Laric attends to selected cases and brings extensive expertise to these complex cases, which often present unique challenges including bone loss, scar tissue, and altered anatomy from previous surgeries. Using advanced revision techniques, specialised implants, and bone grafting when necessary, Dr. Laric works to restore hip function and provide lasting relief. Each revision case is carefully planned using detailed imaging and assessment to determine the best approach for achieving optimal results while preserving as much healthy bone and tissue as possible.

Active individuals and athletes can experience various hip injuries ranging from muscle strains and tears to impingement syndromes and stress fractures. Dr. Laric specialises in diagnosing and treating selected sports-related hip conditions. More specific conditions such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tears are referred to hip arthroscopy surgeons. Treatment approaches are tailored to each athlete's specific needs and may include minimally invasive hip arthroscopy for labral repairs and impingement correction, targeted rehabilitation programmes, and return-to-sport protocols. The goal is not only to resolve the immediate injury but also to address underlying biomechanical issues to prevent future problems while helping athletes safely return to their competitive activities.
