Hip Replacement Surgery in India :-

During hip replacement, an operating surgeon removes the damaged sections of your hip joint and replaces them with elements sometimes made of metal, ceramic and extremely arduous plastic. This implant (prosthesis) helps scale back pain and improves function. Also known as total hip surgery, hip replacement surgery is also an option for you if your hip pain interferes with daily activities and more-conservative treatments haven’t helped or are no longer effective. Arthritis injury is the most typical reason to need a hip replacement.

Why you need Hip Replacement Surgery?

Conditions which will harm the hip joint, typically necessitating hip replacement surgery, including

• Osteoarthritis: Commonly known as wear-and-tear arthritis, osteoarthritis damages the slick cartilage that covers the ends of bones and helps joints move smoothly.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: Caused by an overactive immune system, rheumatoid arthritis produces a type of inflammation that can erode cartilage and occasionally underlying bone, resulting in damaged and deformed joints.
• Osteonecrosis: If there is an inadequate blood supply to the ball portion of the hip joint, the bone may collapse and deform.

Chronic :- A gradual degenerative condition that causes damage and deterioration to once normal structures, such as osteoarthritis.

Acute :- A condition that requires corrective surgery to relieve a sudden onset of a condition, such as an inflammation or infection

Trauma :- A significant injury that requires corrective surgery such as a fracture, rupture or dislocation.

Unilateral Knee Replacement :-

During knee replacement surgery, damaged bone and cartilage are resurfaced with metal and plastic components. In unicompartmental or unilateral knee replacement (also called “partial” knee replacement) only a portion of the knee is resurfaced.

Because a partial knee replacement is done through a smaller incision, patients usually spend less time in the hospital and return to normal activities sooner than total knee replacement patients.
