Total Hip Joint Replacement and Hip Resurfacing Surgery in India

Total hip replacement (THR) is a treatment option for late-stage degenerative hip disease, also known as osteoarthritis or degenerative arthritis. THR is one of the most successful and common surgical procedures in orthopedic surgery. In addition to marked reduction in pain and improvement in sleep, most people regain range of motion, physical ability, and quality of life.

• The hip joint is composed of a ball and socket, with the surface of each covered by cartilage.

• A number of conditions and diseases can cause the cartilage surfaces to degenerate, which in turn leads to pain, stiffness, loss of hip joint range of motion, and disability.

• Surgeons replace both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) during total hip replacement surgery

    Types and techniques of Hip Joint Replacement Surgery

Anterior hip replacement technique is also known as mini anterior approach towards hip replacement. It provides similar results as the traditional hip replacement procedure of replacing worn out bones of the hip joints with prosthetic implants. The only difference in anterior technique is that the method of opening the body to reach for hip joint. It has emerged as a feasible substitute of posterior or traditional approach.

Partial Hip replacement surgery is also known as semi Arthroplasty. In this procedure the ball that is scientifically called ‘femoral head’ of the worn out or damaged joint is replaced with the prosthetic implant. During this procedure, the socket i.e. the acetabulum is not replaced. Partial hip replacement operations are usually conducted when the patient has fractured or broken his hips or had a traumatic hip injury. 

Minimally invasive hip replacement technique is a process through which the orthopedic surgeon can implant the prosthetic components through one or two smaller incisions. Operation using such technique means that there will be a very small scar, less post-operative pain,less loss of blood during surgery and shorter recovery time. 

Bilateral hip joint replacement surgery is a surgery where the surgeons replace and resurfaces both the hips at the same time because of excessive stiffness and arthritic pain. This type of surgery is not common, because arthritis in hips do not usually advances at a same rate. But occasionally, such situations may appear.

CAS technology offers a hip replacement patient several benefits including: -

• With CAS technology, surgeons are able to make precise adjustments to ensure the optimal implant fit, range of motion and joint stability. This may help to reduce joint wear and extend the life of the implant.

• CAS may allow for less invasive techniques which have other potential advantages including: smaller incisions with reduced muscle disruption and decreased rehabilitation time.

• Provides your surgeon with comprehensive data about your anatomy which may help determine proper placement of your joint replacement.

• Ability to plan for surgery with a computer generated model of your hip.

• Provides the surgeon with feedback and the ability to correct potential misalignment during the surgery.

• Allows for better visualization of anatomy, which is particularly important when minimally-invasive techniques are used.
