Hip replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, involves replacing a damaged or diseased hip joint with a prosthetic one. The prosthetic joint, made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials, is designed to mimic the natural ball-and-socket joint of the hip.
Hip replacement surgery is recommended for patients with severe hip pain and mobility issues that aren’t relieved by other treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or walking aids. The most common reasons for hip replacement surgery are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip fractures, and avascular necrosis.
Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, offers three main types of hip replacement surgery:
The type of prosthetic joint used depends on the patient’s individual needs, and the surgeon at Apollo Hospitals will determine the best option.
Apollo Hospitals in Chennai, India, uses advanced technologies for hip replacement surgeries. Here are some of the key technologies and procedures:
This is a breakthrough medical technique that Apollo Hospitals pioneered in the Asian region. BHR is primarily intended for use in people who are in need of a hip replacement at a younger age and therefore are likely to be more active. In BHR, a very small part of bone on the top of the thighbone is resurfaced. A metal head is fixed on the thighbone, which fits into a metal socket placed in the joint. This results in very little bone loss and almost normal unrestricted movements and functions. The success rate of (BHR) Birmingham Hip Resurfacing is over 99%.
In this procedure, the end portion of the thighbone affected by arthritis is replaced with a metal head that can be cemented with special glue to the stem of the thighbone or can be uncemented in younger patients. The socket is replaced with a metallic cup and high-density plastic is used as an insert into it. The socket is usually left uncemented. Screws are used to connect to the thighbone. This procedure enables the restoration of the natural gliding motion of the joint.
This is a minimally-invasive procedure ideal for young patients. In this procedure, the part of the thighbone at the point where it begins is shaped and replaced by a metal head. This sits in a metal cup that is fitted into the socket.
These are also performed at Apollo Hospitals. Some hip surgeries can also be performed using minimally-invasive techniques.
These technologies and procedures have been designed to provide the best possible outcomes for patients, with a focus on minimizing pain and recovery time, and maximizing mobility and quality of life.
Before undergoing hip replacement surgery at Apollo Hospitals, patients need to undergo several tests and evaluations to ensure they are medically fit for the surgery. This includes a medical evaluation, tests and scans, medications, and pre-surgery exercises.
The procedure of hip replacement surgery involves several steps, including anesthesia, incision, removal of damaged tissues, placement of the prosthetic hip joint, closure of incision, and the time it takes to perform the surgery.
Like any surgical procedure, hip replacement surgery carries some risks and complications. The common risks and complications of hip replacement surgery include infection, blood clots, dislocation, loosening of prosthetic joint, and nerve damage.
Infection is a common complication of hip replacement surgery. The signs of infection include fever, pain, redness, and swelling around the incision site. The treatment of infection includes antibiotics and, in severe cases, surgery.
Blood clots are another common complication of hip replacement surgery. The signs of blood clots include swelling, pain, and redness in the leg. The treatment of blood clots includes blood thinners and compression stockings.
Dislocation is a rare complication of hip replacement surgery. It occurs when the prosthetic joint becomes dislodged from its position. The causes of dislocation include improper positioning of the joint, muscle weakness, and trauma to the hip joint. The treatment of dislocation includes manipulation under anesthesia and, in severe cases, surgery.
Loosening of the prosthetic joint is a common long-term complication of hip replacement surgery. It occurs when the prosthetic joint becomes detached from the bone. The causes of loosening include wear and tear, infection, and bone loss. The treatment of loosening includes revision surgery.
Nerve damage is a rare complication of hip replacement surgery. It occurs when the nerves around the hip joint are damaged during the surgery. The causes of nerve damage include improper positioning of the patient during the surgery and trauma to the nerves. The treatment of nerve damage includes physical therapy and, in severe cases, surgery.
The recovery period after hip replacement surgery is crucial for the success of the surgery. The recovery process includes :
