Understanding Hip Joint Replacement
What is hip joint replacement
Hip joint replacement, also referred to as joint replacement surgery, is a procedure where a deteriorated or degenerated hip joint is replaced with an artificial device. The artificial implant brings back the functioning exactly as the original joint, which assists in the restoration of pain-free movement. The aim is to stop chronic pain, enhance mobility, and enable patients to resume regular daily activity.
Common reasons for hip damage
Damage to the hip can result from various reasons, such as:
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Post-traumatic arthritis
Avascular necrosis of the Hip
Hip replacement surgery types
There are two basic types:
01
Total Hip Replacement (THR): Both femoral head and acetabulum are replaced.
02
Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty): Femoral head only is replaced, usually employed in fractures or very elderly patients.
Further, minimally invasive methods are becoming popular with smaller cuts, reduced pain, and quicker recovery. If you're considering surgery, a joint replacement specialist can guide you on the best approach based on your condition.
Symptoms That You Might Require Hip Replacement
Enduring hip pain: Persistent pain within the hip, groin, or thigh that fails to improve with medication or physical therapy.
Limited motion: If walking, climbing stairs, or even performing simple functions like sitting or standing becomes difficult for you, hip replacement may be required.
Failed conservative management
Knee joint replacement surgery, or knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove the worn-out or damaged parts of your knee joint and replace them with artificial implants. It is done to ease pain and regain function in the knee for people who have chronic knee problems.
Some common causes are:
1
Osteoarthritis
wear on the cartilage because of aging or repetitive motion
2
Rheumatoid arthritis
inflammation in the lining of the joint
3
Trauma or injury
fractures or ligament tears resulting in long-term damage
