Does anyone know what the typical waiting time is for a hip replacement op ? We live in the west midlands

Hi, Kiki. I'm in the West Midlands, too. I believe the waiting time is 13 weeks maximum. I found, though, that the 13 weeks starts from when you first get to see the consultant, which may be an additional wait of a few weeks from when your GP agrees that you need a THR.
