Joint & Hip Replacement Surgery

Joint replacement surgery is a highly effective solution for:
✔️ Severe osteoarthritis
✔️ Rheumatoid arthritis
✔️ Post-traumatic arthritis
✔️ Avascular necrosis
✔️ Congenital joint disorders

How It Works

Surgeons remove damaged joint surfaces and replace them with medical-grade prosthetic components made of:

  • Metal alloys (cobalt-chrome, titanium)

  • High-grade plastics (polyethylene)

  • Ceramic materials

Hip Replacement Surgery Explained

The Procedure:

  1. Damaged bone/cartilage removal

  2. Precision implant placement

  3. Testing joint mobility

  4. Closing the surgical site

Implant Types:

  • Total Hip Replacement (both ball and socket)

  • Partial Hip Replacement (femoral head only)

  • Hip Resurfacing (bone-conserving option)

Who Needs Joint Replacement?

Ideal candidates typically have:

  • Chronic joint pain unresponsive to medication

  • Significant mobility limitations

  • Joint damage visible on X-rays

  • Failed conservative treatments (PT, injections)

Surgical Advancements

Modern techniques include:
🔹 Minimally invasive approaches (smaller incisions)
🔹 Computer-assisted navigation (precision placement)
🔹 Custom 3D-printed implants (patient-specific fits)
🔹 Enhanced recovery protocols (faster rehabilitation)

Recovery Timeline

First 48 Hours:

  • Pain management

  • Early mobilization

  • Compression stockings

First 6 Weeks:

  • Physical therapy

  • Gradual weight-bearing

  • Wound care

3-6 Months:

  • Full functional recovery

  • Return to normal activities

Life After Replacement

Patients typically experience:
✅ 90-95% pain reduction
✅ Restored range of motion
✅ Improved walking ability
✅ Enhanced quality of life

Activity Guidelines:

  • Low-impact exercises encouraged (swimming, cycling)

  • High-impact activities discouraged (running, jumping)

Potential Risks

⚠️ Infection (1-2% risk)
⚠️ Blood clots
⚠️ Implant loosening
⚠️ Leg length discrepancy
⚠️ Nerve injury (rare)
