Top 7 Hip Replacement Doctors in Jordan 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Hip replacement is an operation in which the worn ball of the thigh bone (the femoral head) is replaced with an artificial ball on a stem. The hip socket is lined with a metal cup and a smooth bearing surface. The aim is to remove painful bone-on-bone contact and restore smoother movement.

It is usually considered for:

• advanced hip arthritis
• avascular necrosis of the femoral head (loss of blood supply to the bone)
• certain femoral neck fractures
• long-standing hip dysplasia or deformity

It usually comes up only after non-surgical measures have not given enough relief. These include physiotherapy, reducing load on the joint, weight management and medication prescribed by a physician. An orthopaedic surgeon who works in joint replacement decides whether surgery makes sense. That decision rests on a clinical examination read together with imaging, never on an X-ray alone.

Consider booking an orthopaedic assessment if you have:

• groin or upper-thigh pain that worsens with walking, standing or turning the leg
• difficulty putting on socks and shoes, cutting your toenails or getting in and out of a car
• pain that wakes you at night or stops you sleeping on your side
• stiffness, a limp, or a shrinking walking distance despite physiotherapy and other treatment

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away for any of the following:

• After a fall, especially in an older person, you cannot stand or bear weight, or the leg looks shortened or turned outward.
• A hip is hot, swollen and very painful, with fever.
• After hip surgery, you have sudden chest pain or shortness of breath.
• After surgery, one calf becomes painful and swollen.
• The wound becomes red or hot, or leaks fluid, with fever.
• After surgery, the hip suddenly feels "out of place" and you cannot move the leg.

How to choose among the doctors here

All seven surgeons on this page publish hip replacement as a service. Many people search for the best hip replacement doctors in Jordan. The order here reflects how complete each profile is, not surgical results, so compare the details that matter to your situation:

• Training focused on joints. Some profiles list fellowships specific to hip or joint replacement. Others list broader orthopaedic, trauma or spine training. Read the qualifications section of each entry.
• Your specific problem. Two profiles list revision hip replacement, which means replacing an earlier implant. One profile also lists direct anterior hip replacement, and another lists childhood hip dysplasia treatment. If you have both back and hip symptoms, a surgeon who also treats the spine can help sort out where the pain comes from.
• Where surgery would take place. Clinics and operating hospitals are not always the same place. Ask where the operation itself is done, and where physiotherapy and follow-up happen.
• Practical fit. Compare clinic districts, opening days and listed insurers. One surgeon has published only Saturday hours, while others list six days.
• Communication. Choose someone who explains the options clearly, including non-surgical ones, and answers your questions without pressure.

What to expect at the first visit

The first consultation is usually an assessment, not a decision to operate. The surgeon will ask about:

• where the pain is and how it affects walking, sleep and daily tasks
• treatments you have already tried
• your general health

They will then examine your hip's movement, your walking and your leg length, and review or request imaging.

What to bring:

• previous X-rays, MRI scans and their reports, on disc or printed
• a list of your current medicines and allergies, and any blood-thinning treatment
• details of other conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or previous operations
• your insurance card and ID

Questions worth asking:

• Is surgery reasonable for me now, or should I try other measures first?
• What does implant planning involve, and which approach do you usually use?
• What happens during anaesthesia, the operation and the hospital stay?
• What are the main risks, such as infection, blood clots, dislocation and leg-length difference?
• What will rehabilitation look like? Which movements should I avoid, and for how long?
• When could I drive, return to work or travel?

As a general guide, the operation usually takes 60 to 120 minutes, and the hospital stay is often one to three days. Many people regain daily independence within 4 to 8 weeks, and strength and walking keep improving for several months. Your own timeline depends on your health and your surgeon's plan.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

None of the seven profiles currently publishes a consultation fee. Ask the clinic directly when you book. Several profiles list insurers, but a listed insurer does not guarantee that a joint replacement is covered under your policy.

Before committing, ask your insurer and the clinic:

• Is the consultation covered, and do I need a referral?
• Does surgery need pre-approval? What documents does the insurer require?
• Are the implant, hospital stay, anaesthesia and physiotherapy covered, or billed separately?
• Which hospital is in my network for the operation itself?
• What is my co-payment or excluded amount?

Ask for a written estimate of the full surgical package so there are no surprises. Confirm the exact clinic room or floor and bring your imaging, as several profiles advise.

Getting there

This list covers Jordan as a whole, and each profile states its own city, district and clinic name. Check the address on the profile you choose before setting out. Some listed clinics sit inside larger medical buildings or hospital outpatient departments, so ask for the floor or room number when you book.

Hip pain can make long walks, stairs and getting in and out of cars difficult. Arrange a lift or taxi to the entrance and ask whether there is a lift and nearby parking. If you are visiting from abroad, schedule the consultation, imaging and any surgery with enough time for follow-up and early rehabilitation before you fly home. Ask the surgeon when travel is reasonable after the operation.

Checklist before you book

• Confirm that the surgeon's published services include hip replacement, or revision surgery if you have had one before.
• Read the qualifications section and note any joint-replacement fellowship.
• Check the clinic district and the confirmed opening days.
• Ask whether your insurer is accepted and whether surgery needs pre-approval.
• Ask for the consultation fee, since none is published here.
• Gather previous imaging, reports and a medication list.
• Write down your symptoms and how they affect daily life.
• Prepare questions about risks, rehabilitation and dislocation precautions.
• Ask where the operation and physiotherapy would take place.
• Know the warning signs that need emergency care, and remember 911.
