Abstract:
Hip replacement surgery is becoming increasingly specialised and evidence shows that, particularly in revision, surgery is best done by specialists. An audit of GPs suggests great variation in referral practice, with one-third prepared to refer to a 'generalist' orthopaedic surgeon. GPs need better communication with hospitals and knowledge of where specialists are available.
