What is Hip Replacement?

Hip replacement, or total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged hip joint with an artificial one. It’s commonly done to relieve pain and restore mobility caused by arthritis or injury. The procedure involves replacing the socket and femoral head. Recovery includes therapy, and results often improve mobility and quality of life

Identifying the Signs

Swelling

Persistent inflammation and swelling in the hip area can indicate underlying issues.

Reduced Mobility

Challenges in walking, standing, or completing daily activities due to hip discomfort

Severe Pain

Ongoing hip pain that disrupts daily activities and sleep quality.

Stiffness

Limited hip joint movement, causing a reduced range of motion.

Joint Deformity

Alterations in hip joint shape or alignment, affecting function and stability.

Ineffective Treatments

Persistent pain despite medications, physical therapy, or other non-surgical treatments.

Types

Cemented Hip Replacement

- Utilizes bone cement to securely fix the prosthetic components to the bone.
- Typically recommended for older or less active patients

Cementless Hip Replacement

Relies on the body’s natural bone growth to secure the prosthetic components, which have a porous surface.

Often preferred for younger, more active patients

Hybrid Hip Replacement

Combines both cemented and cementless techniques.

Usually involves a cemented femoral component and a cementless acetabular component.

Anterior Approach Hip Replacement

A minimally invasive technique that accesses the hip joint from the front.

May allow for quicker recovery and less muscle damage.

Posterior Approach Hip Replacement

The most commonly used approach, accessing the hip joint from the back.

Provides good visibility and precise placement of the prosthetic components.

Causes

Osteoarthritis

A degenerative joint disease where the cartilage that cushions the hip joint wears away over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the joint lining, causing inflammation and damage to the hip joint.

Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Arthritis that develops after a hip injury, such as a dislocation or fracture, causing joint degradation over time.

Avascular Necrosis:

A condition where the blood supply to the femoral head (the ball of the hip joint) is disrupted, leading to bone death and joint collapse.

Hip Fractures

Breaks or cracks in the hip bone, typically due to falls or accidents, that can severely damage the joint and require replacement surgery.

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

A congenital condition where the hip joint doesn’t form properly, leading to joint instability and early wear and tear.
