Hip Replacement
Hip Replacement details
Our skilled orthopedic surgeons have extensive experience in performing hip replacement surgeries, utilizing the latest techniques and technologies to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
Features
Medical Evaluation: A comprehensive evaluation is conducted, including medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs to assess the extent of hip damage.
Preoperative Instructions: You will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including fasting guidelines, medication adjustments, and pre-surgical exercises to strengthen your body.
2. Anesthesia: Before hip replacement surgery, you will meet with an anesthesiologist to discuss the type of anesthesia to be used, which could be general anesthesia (you are asleep during the procedure) or spinal/epidural anesthesia (you are awake but numb from the waist down)
3. Surgery
- Incision: A small incision is made over the hip area to access the joint. The size and location of the incision depend on the type of hip replacement procedure being performed.
- Removal of Damaged Bone and Cartilage: The surgeon carefully removes the damaged sections of the hip joint, including the femoral head and the worn-out cartilage.
- Implantation: The new artificial components (prosthesis) are inserted into the hip. These components typically include a metal or ceramic ball, a metal stem that fits into the thigh bone, and a plastic, metal, or ceramic socket that replaces the damaged socket in the pelvis.
- Alignment and Fixation: The new hip joint is carefully aligned and securely fixed in place. The surgeon ensures that the components fit perfectly and function smoothly.
- Closing the Incision: The incision is closed with stitches or surgical staples, and a sterile bandage is applied to protect the wound.
