1. Preparation: Preoperative Assessment: Before surgery, the patient undergoes a complete evaluation, which includes physical exams, medical history review, blood tests, and imaging (X-rays or MRI) to assess the extent of the hip joint damage. Anesthesia: General anesthesia or regional anesthesia (spinal or epidural) is administered to keep the patient pain-free and relaxed throughout the procedure. Preoperative Assessment: Anesthesia
2. Incision Incision The surgeon makes an incision on the side or front of the hip, depending on the type of approach chosen (anterior, posterior, or lateral). The size and location of the incision depend on the surgical approach used.
3. Accessing the Hip Joint: The surgeon carefully moves aside muscles and soft tissues to expose the hip joint. The ball of the hip (femoral head) and the socket (acetabulum) are then accessed.
Removal of Damaged Parts: Femoral Head: The surgeon removes the damaged femoral head (the ball of the hip joint) by cutting through the femur (thigh bone) and removing the head. Acetabulum: The damaged surface of the hip socket (acetabulum) is also removed, preparing it for the new implant.
Implantation: The surgeon then inserts the new artificial components: Socket (Acetabular Component): A metal cup is implanted into the acetabulum (hip socket). Ball (Femoral Component): A metal or ceramic ball is attached to a stem that is inserted into the femur. The ball and socket components fit together to create a functional joint. Quality Service 24/7
Testing for Stability and Function: The surgeon tests the joint by moving the hip to ensure that the new components are properly aligned and stable. Adjustments may be made to the implant placement to ensure optimal function.
Closure Once the implant is in place and the joint is tested, the surgeon will close the incision with sutures or staples. The area is typically dressed with a sterile bandage. Quality Service
Recovery: The patient is moved to a recovery room where they are monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Pain management is important, and patients may be prescribed medications to manage post- operative pain. Physiotherapy typically begins the same day or the following day to help the patient regain movement and strength in the hip. Quality Service
Postoperative Care and Rehabilitation: After surgery, the patient is encouraged to gradually start walking with the assistance of crutches or a walker. Physical therapy is an essential part of recovery, focusing on exercises to strengthen muscles around the hip and improve flexibility. Full recovery may take several weeks to months, depending on the individual’s health and response to the procedure. Quality Service 24/7
Key Considerations: Types of Implants: Implants can be made from metal, plastic, ceramic, or a combination of materials. Surgical Approaches: There are different approaches to the surgery, such as: Anterior approach: From the front of the hip. Posterior approach: From the back. Lateral approach: From the side. The choice of approach depends on the surgeon's experience, the patient’s anatomy, and the condition of the hip joint.
Risks and Complications: Infection: Infection can occur at the site of the incision. Blood Clots: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can develop. Dislocation: The new hip may become dislocated if not properly positioned. Implant Wear: Over time, the artificial joint may wear out or loosen, requiring a revision surgery. Nerve Injury: There is a risk of injury to nearby nerves. Larana Inc.
