Hip Replacement
Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement surgery is a highly effective procedure designed to treat severe hip joint pain caused by conditions such as arthritis, fractures, or other degenerative joint diseases. When nonsurgical treatments no longer provide relief, hip replacement offers a chance to restore function, improve mobility, and relieve chronic pain.
What is Hip Replacement Surgery?
Hip replacement surgery involves the removal of the damaged or worn-out hip joint and replacing it with an artificial prosthesis. The procedure is typically recommended for patients who experience chronic pain, stiffness, and difficulty with daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods.
There are two types of hip replacement surgeries:
- Total Hip Replacement (THR): Involves replacing both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint with prosthetic components.
- Partial Hip Replacement: Only the femoral head is replaced, and the acetabulum is preserved, usually when the damage is confined to the ball portion of the joint.
The Procedure
Hip replacement surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. Dr. Kumar Saurabh performs the surgery through a small incision, carefully removing the damaged parts of the joint and replacing them with a metal, ceramic, or plastic prosthesis designed to mimic the natural motion of the hip.
Dr. Saurabh uses advanced minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to reduce recovery time and minimize scarring. The procedure is performed with precision, ensuring proper alignment of the new joint for improved functionality.
Benefits of Hip Replacement Surgery
- Pain Relief: The primary benefit is significant reduction in chronic hip pain, allowing patients to perform daily activities with ease.
- Improved Mobility: The artificial joint restores the natural motion of the hip, enhancing flexibility and overall joint function.
- Better Quality of Life: Patients often experience better quality of life, being able to resume walking, exercising, and performing tasks that were previously difficult or impossible.
- Long-Term Solution: With proper care and rehabilitation, a hip replacement can last for many years, providing long-term relief.
