Hip Replacement
Hip replacement: innovative approach to restoring mobility
Hip replacement is a high-tech procedure aimed at restoring mobility and eliminating chronic pain in patients suffering from degenerative joint diseases or the consequences of injuries. This method has proven effective in improving the quality of life for millions of people around the world.
What is hip replacement?
Hip replacement, or hip joint replacement, is a surgical intervention where the damaged joint is replaced with an artificial implant. The procedure is indicated for patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip dysplasia, or consequences of fractures. The main goal of the operation is to relieve pain, restore normal joint function, and prevent further deterioration of the condition.
How does the hip replacement work?
The implant consists of several components: the cup, head, and stem. The materials used to manufacture prostheses (titanium, ceramic, polyethylene) are characterized by high strength and biocompatibility, which ensures their long-term functionality. Modern hip prostheses are designed to last from 15 to 25 years, depending on the patient's activity level.
Effectiveness indicators
According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, more than 90% of patients who have undergone hip replacement report pain elimination and significant improvement in mobility. Studies show that 85% of prostheses continue to function successfully even 20 years after installation. Moreover, the procedure helps prevent secondary complications such as posture disorders and chronic lower back pain caused by improper loading on other joints.
Modern approaches to hip replacement
Medical technologies are constantly evolving, making the hip replacement procedure less invasive and safer. Today, methods that minimize surgical trauma and reduce the rehabilitation period are used:
- laparoscopic techniques: the intervention is performed through small incisions, significantly reducing blood loss and the risk of infection.
- personalized implants: modern technologies allow for the creation of prostheses that precisely match the patient's anatomical features.
- robotic surgery: the use of robotic systems provides exceptional accuracy in implant placement, improving its durability and functionality.
Alisa Health Group offers a unique opportunity to access advanced treatment methods in leading world clinics. We do more than just organize medical journeys; we offer a personalized approach that includes:
- consultations with leading specialists: we help you choose the best orthopedic surgeons who have international accreditation and extensive experience in hip replacement.
- thorough preparation for the operation: in conjunction with clinics, we ensure all necessary examinations, including MRI and 3D modeling, to choose the optimal prosthesis.
- comprehensive patient support: from handling documents and choosing a clinic to organizing post-operative rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation after hip replacement
Recovery after hip replacement depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and the level of technologies used. Modern rehabilitation programs include physiotherapy aimed at restoring muscle tone and improving mobility. According to the European Federation of Orthopedics, 70% of patients return to their normal lifestyle within 6-8 weeks.
We also offer remote consultations and support to ensure you feel confident at all stages of rehabilitation.
