Total Hip Replacement
Overview
If you suffer from hip injuries, it may be difficult and uncomfortable to do daily tasks. Your hip may be stiff, making it difficult for you to walk or rise from seats. You may even feel uncomfortable at rest.
Hip replacement surgery is one of the most effective medical procedures. Since the early 1960s, advances in surgical procedures and technology for joint replacement have significantly boosted the efficacy of total hip replacement.
A total hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which a damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial one. The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for movement of the leg. The ball, or femoral head, is located at the top of the thigh bone (femur), and the socket, or acetabulum, is located in the pelvic bone. In a total hip replacement, both the femoral head and the acetabulum are replaced with artificial components.
Treatment
Total hip replacement involves replacing the damaged hip joint with an artificial joint through a surgical procedure. The process includes preoperative preparation, anesthesia, an incision made in the hip area, removal of the damaged joint, placement of the artificial joint, closing the incision, postoperative care, and rehabilitation. After the surgery, the patient undergoes physical therapy and lifestyle modifications to regain full function of the hip joint and return to normal activities. The type of anesthesia used depends on the patient’s health condition, and the joint may be fixed with bone cement or be implanted without it.
