Hip replacement is one of the most successful operations in modern medicine, offering long-term relief from arthritis, stiffness and pain.

Mr James Nutt MBChB, BSc (Hons), FRCS (Tr & Orth) is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust and Nuffield Health Guildford Hospital, specialising in primary hip replacement, complex cases, and revision hip surgery.
Patients are cared for within a premium private setting, with consultant-led treatment from first appointment to full recovery.
Why Choose Mr James Nutt for Your Hip Replacement?

✔ Precision-Planned Surgery Using Computer Templating & Modelling
Every hip replacement is planned individually using state-of-the-art templating software and 3D computer modelling.
This allows Mr Nutt to:
  • assess your anatomy in detail
  • predict implant size and positioning
  • optimise leg length and biomechanics
  • reduce the risk of impingement or instability
  • tailor the surgery to your lifestyle and activity needs
This level of planning means no two hip replacements are identical — your surgery is custom-designed for you.

✔ Navigated Hip Replacement Technology
​Where appropriate, Mr Nutt uses computer-assisted navigation during surgery.
This modern system provides real-time information to guide implant positioning with exceptional accuracy.
Benefits may include:
  • improved alignment
  • reduced risk of leg length difference
  • enhanced joint stability
  • potentially longer implant lifespan
  • improved early recovery and function
Navigation is particularly beneficial for young, active patients or those with complex hip anatomy.

✔ ODEP 10A* Implants with Outstanding Results
​Mr Nutt uses ODEP 10A*-rated implants — the highest independently assessed standard for long-term performance.
These implants:
  • have excellent survivorship at 10+ years
  • are backed by large, high-quality clinical data
  • are associated with some of the lowest revision rates in the National Joint Registry
  • are designed to support long-lasting, natural-feeling movement
This ensures you receive implants with the strongest evidence and reliability.

Who Is Hip Replacement For?​


You may benefit from hip replacement if you have:
  • severe arthritis (osteoporosis/degenerative, inflammatory or post-traumatic)
  • persistent groin or buttock pain
  • stiffness limiting daily activities
  • difficulty walking, climbing stairs or exercising
  • sleep disturbance due to hip pain
  • hip pain not improving with physiotherapy or medication
Young adults with early arthritis or structural hip issues are also assessed individually — modern implants and precise planning mean surgery can be appropriate at a younger age when required.

Recovery & Expectations​

Most people experience:
  • rapid reduction in groin pain
  • improved mobility within weeks
  • significant improvements in quality of life
  • return to low-impact activities (walking, cycling, golf)
  • long-term durability, especially with modern implants and accurate placement
You will receive personalised rehabilitation guidance and a clear recovery timeline.
