What is Total Hip replacement Surgery ?
Total hip replacement surgery is a medical process that requires replacing damaged cartilage and bone in the hip with artificial materials. Chromium, titanium, cobalt, and ceramic are among the materials used for artificial hip components. Hip Arthroplasty, Hip Hemiarthroplasty, and Total Hip Replacement are all terms used in India to describe hip replacement surgery. The injured femur is removed and the ball-and-socket component of the hip is replaced with artificial implants in this surgical operation. By relieving pain and enhancing mobility, hip replacement surgery allows the patient to do daily activities with comfort.
As part of hip fracture treatment, such joint
replacement orthopaedic surgery is usually performed to ease arthritis pain or
repair severe physical joint damage. A total hip replacement (total hip
arthroplasty) replaces the acetabulum as well as the femoral head, whereas
hemiarthroplasty simply replaces the femoral head.
Who Should Have a Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement surgery may be a good option for people who have hip joint degeneration that causes discomfort and interferes with everyday activities despite treatment.
The most prominent cause of this type of injury is Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis of the hip usually creates dull, extreme pain. The pain may be permanent or periodic. Pain may be felt in the groyne, thigh, and buttock, with referred pain to the knee. Hip osteoarthritis is most common in middle-aged and elderly persons. Symptoms range from minor discomfort to severe pain and immobility. Hip osteoarthritis treatment focuses on reducing pain and improving joint movement. When conservative treatment options fail to offer enough relief, hip replacement surgery may be considered.
Other disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic inflammatory illness that causes joint pain, stiffness, and swelling), osteonecrosis (or avascular necrosis), injury, fracture, and bone tumours, can also lead to hip joint breakdown and the need for hip replacement surgery.
Diagnosis before Hip Replacement Surgery
A thorough
history and physical examination allow the doctor to assess whether there is a
link between the pain symptoms and the patient's past history and the demands
imposed on the hips. The doctor will ask about any incidents of trauma or
instability, as well as assess the ligaments and hip alignment.
Treatment
Options For Hip Joint Damage?
Non-Surgical Therapy
Over-the-counter and anti-inflammatory medicines are usually the
initial line of treatment for hip arthritis. Certain dietary supplements, such
as glucosamine, may offer some assistance. Short-term physical therapy may aid
in the improvement of strength and the reduction of pain. Transferring weight
to a walker reduces pain and improves walking ability.
Surgical Treatment
A number of hip replacement methods are used to replace the femoral head with new, artificial pieces. They are Total Hip Replacement, Hip Resurfacing, Proxima Hip Replacement, Computer Assisted Surgery, Revision Hip Replacement, and Bilateral Hip Replacement. Because hip replacement is a major surgery, the surgeon will determine the best treatment option based on the extent of the injury and the need
