Hip Replacement. Dr Nurullah Sener. ISU Medicalpark Gaziosmanpasa.
Hip replacement, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant. For prosthetics, endoprostheses from one of the best firms, Smith & Nephew, are used, which allow solving the most diverse and complex clinical situations. The operation is necessary to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients with severe forms of arthritis or other diseases of the knee joint.
Indications for Hip Replacement
- Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear of the cartilage, causing pain and limited mobility.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease causing inflammation and joint destruction.
- Osteonecrosis: Loss of blood supply to the bone, leading to its destruction.
- Hip Fractures: Especially in elderly patients, where a fracture can cause significant joint damage.
- Congenital Deformities: Developmental abnormalities of the hip joint that can cause pain and limited mobility.
Surgical Procedure and Preparation
- Preparation: The patient undergoes a medical examination, including X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to assess the condition of the joint.
- Anesthesia: The operation is performed under general or spinal anesthesia.
- Surgical Intervention: The surgeon removes the damaged parts of the joint and replaces them with artificial components, usually made of metal, ceramic, or plastic.
- Rehabilitation: After the operation, the patient undergoes a course of physical therapy to restore mobility and muscle strength.
Benefits of Hip Replacement
- Pain reduction
- Improved mobility
- Return to an active lifestyle
Recovery for the patient may take some time
- Patients typically stay in the hospital for 3-5 days after the operation.
- Physical therapy begins in the first few days after surgery and continues for several months.
- Full recovery can take several months, depending on the individual characteristics of the patient.
Restrictions After Surgery:
- Avoid high-impact sports such as running and jumping.
- Low-impact activities such as walking, swimming, and cycling are recommended.
Hip replacement is an effective treatment method that can significantly improve the quality of life for patients with hip joint diseases.
