Cycling places unique demands on the body, and understanding injury trends is key to both prevention and effective treatment.

Dr Peter Hardcastle will be joining fellow orthopaedic specialists to discuss cycling-related injuries, real case insights, and practical prevention strategies at this upcoming Atlas Advisors event.

We look forward to an informative evening focused on keeping cyclists strong, supported, and on the road.

A hip replacement is a life-changing procedure for many people living with ongoing pain and limited mobility.

During surgery, the damaged parts of the joint are removed and replaced with smooth, durable components that restore movement and reduce discomfort. Dr Hardcastle guides each patient through the entire process with clear preparation, dedicated follow-up care, and a focus on long-term well-being.

If non-surgical treatments have not brought relief, a hip replacement may help you return to activities that once felt out of reach.

Hip pain can develop slowly or appear suddenly, and it often begins to affect everyday movement long before patients realise how much they have been adjusting to the discomfort.

Whether the pain is linked to arthritis, an old injury, or gradual wear over time, early assessment can make a meaningful difference.

Dr Peter Hardcastle offers a full evaluation of hip function, helping patients understand what is causing their discomfort and which treatment path may bring relief.

If hip pain is starting to change the way you move, rest, or go about daily life, it may be time to explore your options.
