Joint Replacement Risks

Any surgical procedure performed under a general anaesthetic involves some potential risks, but there are also specific complications associated with a hip or knee replacement. We’ve outlined potential risks of each procedure in the attached information sheets, but Mr Sulaiman Alazzawi will also discuss them in full at your consultation and is always on hand if you have any further questions.

If you’re considering joint replacement surgery, a useful resource is the Patient Decision Support Tool for Joint Replacement produced by the National Joint Registry (NJR) to help you understand potential risks.
