Don’t let hip pain keep you from enjoying a healthy, active life. If nonsurgical solutions such as weight loss, medication, and physical therapy haven’t helped, it may be time to consider hip arthroscopy or hip replacement surgery. In Calgary, Alberta; Toronto, Ontario; and throughout Canada, long wait times can be a significant source of frustration for those living with pain.
Surgical Solutions Network is a network of private medical clinics that can accelerate your hip surgery. We serve patients from Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Calgary, and across Canada, the U.S., and overseas.
Surgical Solutions Network is pleased to offer in-province, private pay hip and knee replacement surgery for Alberta residents, available at our accredited surgical centre in Calgary. This means eligible patients in Alberta can now access private hip and knee replacement surgery within their home province.
Please Note: This in-province, private pay option is currently available only to Alberta patients seeking hip or knee replacement surgery. Patients from other provinces are still welcome to access private surgery interprovincially at one of our accredited surgical centres across Canada.
We are patient focused and provide effective care with human kindness.
We combine innovation with the latest technology and processes to advance surgical care in Canada and better serve patients and providers.
We are a continuously learning organization that measures, monitors, and improves every day.
We support, respect, and accept our patients, team members, and partners, while operating with honesty and integrity in providing our services.
We recommend a consultation with one of our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons when patients experience any of the following on an ongoing basis:
We recommend total hip replacement when more conservative options have been exhausted. Our surgeons use minimally invasive hip arthroscopy to determine the best treatment option for each patient.
Because surgical time and procedure costs vary with the patient’s specific needs, we cannot quote hip surgery prices on our website. The best way to receive an estimate of the time and cost of the surgery is to contact our patient advisors.
We perform total hip replacement at Clearpoint Surgical Toronto and hip resurfacing at Canadian Surgery Solutions, both accredited private surgical facilities equipped with the latest technology and in-patient accommodations complete with specialty nursing and physiotherapy services. Hip arthroscopy is performed in one of our private accredited medical centres.

Recovery after hip surgery varies with the specifics of your procedure, your age, and your physical condition before surgery. Patients are typically standing and walking around the day of surgery. Post-op pain varies with patients and procedures and is usually manageable with prescription or over-the-counter pain medication. It is important to contact us if you have concerns.
Significant milestones generally include:
1 to 3 days
2 to 6 weeks using a walker, crutches, or cane
Up to 12 weeks (multiple times a day)
6 to 12 weeks, depending on the specifics of the surgery and individual factors
Before meeting with a physician, you will need to have a pre-qualification call with a patient advisor who will ask you about your concerns and then review:
Our healthcare team will require any X-rays or other diagnostic imaging, along with some basic medical history, in order to appropriately prepare for your consultation. Consultations with our surgeons can take place via telephone or video conference.
All surgical procedures involve risks. Our highly experienced, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons perform hip surgery in our state-of-the-art, accredited facilities under the highest standards of safety.
Take care of the following preparations well before your surgery to help your recovery:
Surgical pain or discomfort generally lasts approximately 2 to 4 weeks; the severity varies with the specifics of the surgery and individual patient factors.
Hip surgery addresses osteoarthritis (“wear and tear arthritis”) by replacing the inflamed joint. Many patients experience relief from pain from this type of arthritis right after surgery.
While surgical outcomes vary, most patients can resume their daily activities within 2 to 4 months. In about 6 months, patients are usually ready to resume some specialty sports and an overall active lifestyle.
Many patients are ready to use the stairs approximately a month after surgery after consistent work with their physiotherapist.
Hip replacement cost varies depending on the surgical technique used and your specific needs. The best way to estimate pricing is by contacting one of our patient advisors. Many private hip surgery patients take advantage of our convenient payment and financing options.
While wait times in the public healthcare system vary in each province across Canada, it’s not uncommon for people to wait a year or longer to see an orthopedic specialist for a hip surgery consultation and to schedule their procedure at a hospital. However, at Surgical Solutions Network, we can often accommodate our private hip surgery patients within a month of the initial inquiry, helping you regain your quality of life and return to your favourite activities sooner.
Yes, hip replacements are typically covered by public healthcare coverage when deemed medically necessary. However, wait times at public hospitals and care facilities can be quite lengthy.
Hip replacements at Surgical Solutions Network are patient-paid and not covered by public healthcare. We offer patients timely access to the surgical care they need, without the wait. Patients who opt for private hip surgery at our accredited surgical centres across Canada benefit from undergoing surgery when they need it, so they can return to their normal, pain-free lives sooner.
After a hip replacement, the 3 big dont’s are:
The average age for a hip replacement in Canada is 65 or older. However, the procedure is common among younger and older adults based on individual need and activity levels.
A hip replacement may be considered urgent if you’re experiencing severe, debilitating pain, limited mobility, or rapid joint deterioration that significantly impacts your quality of life and cannot be managed with nonsurgical treatments.
There is no strict age limit for hip replacement. However, patients with significant health risks or advanced joint damage that affects surgical outcomes may be advised against it. During your consultation, our orthopedic specialists will determine if surgery is still a safe and effective option for you.
Patients who choose to undergo surgery in the public healthcare system require a referral from their primary care provider to see an orthopedic specialist. However, a referral is not required to undergo patient-paid surgery at Surgical Solutions Network. We require you to complete a presurgical patient questionnaire and provide us with your basic medical history, X-rays, and other diagnostics to confirm your candidacy for hip surgery. Once your candidacy is confirmed, we can schedule your consultation with one of our expert orthopedic surgeons.
Yes, gentle walking is generally encouraged to maintain mobility and strength, as long as it doesn’t worsen your pain. Our team will guide you on safe movement before hip surgery and provide pre-op instructions.
The “90% rule” refers to the fact that about 90% of hip replacements last 15 to 20 years or more, especially with proper care and activity modifications. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you maximize your mobility for years to come.
