Why Visit India For Low Cost Hip Replacement in World Class Hospitals?
A hip replacement is a surgical procedure whereby the diseased cartilage and bone of the hip joint is surgically replaced with artificial materials. There are many different shapes, sizes, and designs of artificial components of the hip joint. For the most part these are composed of chrome, cobalt, titanium, or ceramic materials. Some surgeons are also using custom-made components to improve the fit in the femur. Hip replacement is also called as Hip arthroplasty.
Symptoms:
Pain when bearing weight on the affected hip
Limping
Limitation of movement
Limb Length Discrepancy
Treatment:
During a hip replacement surgery, the surgeon replaces the head of the femur and acetabulum with new, artificial parts. The new hip is made of materials that allow a natural gliding motion of the joint. The parts used to replace the joint come in two general varieties: cemented and uncemented.
1. Cementered : Cemented parts are fastened to existing, healthy bone with a special glue or cement. Hip replacement using these parts is referred to as a “cemented” procedure.
2. Uncemented : Uncemented parts rely on a process called biologic fixation, which holds them in place. This means that the parts are made with a porous surface that allows the patient’s own bone to grow into the pores and hold the new parts in place.
Sometimes a doctor will use a cemented femur part and uncemented acetabular part. This combination is referred to as a hybrid replacement.
You will likely stay in the hospital for 4 to 6 days and may have to stay in bed with a wedge-shaped cushion between your legs to keep the new hip joint in place. A drainage tube will likely be placed in your bladder to help you go to the bathroom.
