Am I a candidate for hip replacement surgery?

The most common condition that will result in hip replacement surgery in older adults is osteoarthritis. This degenerative condition can damage the bone in your hip joints to the point where they can no longer work the way they are designed to. Other conditions including a vascular necrosis, bone tumors, rheumatoid arthritis, and severe fractures may necessitate a hip replacement. Generally, hip replacement surgery is considered the last treatment option when non-surgical therapeutic alternatives and walking aids are not working well enough.

What is a Total Knee Replacement?

After you receive anesthesia, your surgeon will make a cut over your knee to open it up. This cut is often 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 centimeters) long. Then your surgeon will:

- Move your kneecap (patella) out of the way, then cut the ends of your thigh bone and shin (lower leg) bone to fit the replacement part.
- Cut the underside of your kneecap to prepare it for the new pieces that will be attached there.
- Fasten the two parts of the prosthesis to your bones. One part will be attached to the end of your thigh bone and the other part will be attached to your shin bone. The pieces can be attached using bone cement or screws.
- Attach the underside of your kneecap. A special bone cement is used to attach this part.
- Repair your muscles and tendons around the new joint and close the surgical cut.

The surgery takes about 2 hours.

What is hip surgery and why is it done?

Your hip is an important part of your body, connecting your leg to your torso. Damage in this area can cause chronic, debilitating pain, and significantly lower your quality of life and mobility. Surgery is sometimes needed to correct the issues and improve your health. During hip surgery, our surgeon will remove the damaged parts of your hip. They will then replace it with components made of metal, hardened plastic, and ceramic. This creates an artificial joint that will reduce pain and improve your mobility.

A total hip replacement may be needed if other treatments, and minor surgery is not effective in treating your medical issues. Damage from severe arthritis is usually the most common reason people undergo hip replacement.

How Does A Hip Replacement Work?

Hip replacement or arthroplasty, is a surgery performed by an orthopedic surgeon. The goal in this procedure is to remove/replace the damaged parts of a hip joint. When replacing the damaged parts of the hip, the surgeon uses parts constructed from metal, ceramic, and/or resilient plastic.

After the surgery the patient will have an artificial joint called a prosthesis that will allow for more functionality and reduce or eliminate the pain the patient experiences. Hip replacements are a common procedure, this is because conditions that necessitate a hip replacement are common.
