A hip joint is a joint that connects your legs with your torso. It is made up of the thigh bone (femur) and the pelvic bone (hip bone). A ball and socket type of joint, your hip joint helps carry your body’s weight and allows you to move your upper leg. The most common cause of hip pain and disability is arthritis. Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, and Post-traumatic arthritis are the most common forms of arthritis affecting the hip joint. The following information on the Anatomy of the hip joint and the various FAQs will help you make an informed decision about undergoing Hip replacement surgery and how CSI is the best hip replacement surgery hospital in Delhi, India.
The hip is a ball and socket joint and is one of the largest joints in the body. The socket is formed from the acetabulum and the ball is formed from the femoral head (head of the hip bone). The bony surfaces of this ball and socket joint are covered with an articular cartilage which cushions the bone ends and facilitates movement of the joint. The joint is surrounded by a synovial membrane that lubricates the cartilage and eliminates friction while moving the hip joint. There are also bands of ligaments that connect the ball with the socket and stabilize the hip joint.
Total Hip Replacement is a surgery to remove the damaged bone and cartilage and replace both the ball and socket with artificial or prosthetic components. In Hemireplacement/ bipolar replacement, only the ball is replaced using a prosthesis.
The procedure involves the removal of the femoral head and replacing it with a metallic/ceramic head. The metal stem is placed in the hollow of the femoral bone which can be press-fit or cemented into the bone. On the upper part of the stem, a metal or ceramic ball is placed which is a replacement for the removed femoral head. The procedure also involves the removal of the damaged articular cartilage of the socket and replacing the same with a metal socket. The socket can sometimes be held in place with screws and cement. The hip joint replacement surgery also involves the insertion of a metal, plastic, or ceramic spacer to allow smooth gliding movement.
The hip replacement surgery is recommended by your orthopedic surgeon. At CSI, we associate with the best hip replacement surgeons in Delhi who will carefully assess your hip and recommend hip replacement surgery only after taking a medical history, physical evaluation, and radiological investigations to help you reach an informed decision for the surgery.
If you have hip pain that limits everyday activities like squatting, sitting crosslegged, and walking, pain that continues even while you are resting either during the day or night, and stiffness in the hip limits your ability to move or lift the leg. Additionally, if you have tried all sorts of conservative treatments like physiotherapy, NSAIDs, and injections but there has been no relief in the pain, then your orthopedic surgeon will recommend hip replacement surgery. In geriatric patients, a trivial fall at home may lead to a hip fracture (neck femur fracture) which requires hip Hemi replacement surgery.
MIS Total Hip Replacement Surgery or Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement Surgery is a surgical procedure performed with small surgical scars. MIS surgery is done by using a posterior, lateral, or anterolateral approach. Unlike an Open Hip Replacement surgery, MIS Hip Replacement surgery is less tissue disruptive, involves smaller incisions, lesser blood loss, and shorter hospital stay.
The Orthopedic Joint Replacement Surgeon after examining and investigating the patient will decide regarding MIS Hip replacement surgery. MIS Surgery involves faster recovery and you can expect to return earlier to your daily activities after MIS Surgery.
The patient is made to stand and walk either on the same day or the next day after the surgery using a walker.
