Who Chooses Hip Replacement Abroad?
Hip replacement abroad is a practical and well-established route for UK patients — particularly when NHS waiting times are long or UK private costs feel out of reach.
Facing 18+ months on the NHS waiting list
The average NHS wait for a hip replacement in England has stretched well beyond a year for many patients. Budapest partners can typically schedule surgery within 2–4 weeks of assessment.
Comparing UK private costs
UK private hip replacement typically costs £12,000–£17,000 or more. Treatment coordinated through DM2Medical in Budapest offers comparable quality at approximately 40% less, with surgery, rehabilitation, and aftercare all included in your plan.
Seeking surgery and rehab in one journey
Unlike many UK hospitals where post-surgical rehabilitation must be arranged separately, our Budapest partners include a structured 2-week physiotherapy programme as part of the treatment pathway — so you return home already well into your recovery.
Wanting a fully managed experience
DM2Medical handles every logistical detail — surgeon matching, hospital coordination, airport transfers, accommodation, and medical record transfer back to your UK doctor. You focus on getting better; we manage the rest.
What Does Hip Replacement Surgery Involve?
A total hip replacement removes the damaged ball and socket of the hip joint and replaces them with prosthetic components — typically a metal or ceramic ball fitted to a stem placed in the femur, and a cup fitted into the pelvis. The procedure is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia and takes approximately 60–90 minutes.
Most patients begin walking with support the day after surgery. The structured rehabilitation programme coordinated by DM2Medical starts immediately post-operatively, focusing on restoring range of motion, rebuilding strength, and helping you walk confidently again before you return home.

How It Works
Medical treatment costs are paid directly to the hospital or clinic. DM2Medical's coordination fee is separate and transparent. Contact us for a personalised estimate tailored to your needs.
Important: DM2Medical is a medical travel concierge. We do not perform surgery directly. All hip replacement procedures are carried out by experienced orthopaedic surgeons at accredited private hospitals in Budapest.
