Revision Hip Replacement

This type of surgery is performed on active patients or patients that have already undergone the surgery and need the additional surgical procedure.

Why Do You Need a Hip Replacement Surgery?

If you are someone that frequently experiences moderate or extreme pain in the hip due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, you may seek medical help. Patients with such conditions may find it difficult to climb up or down the stairs and bending or walking is sometimes hard. Moreover, the pain may get severe even when resting.

Such type of severe pain does not get alleviated by non-surgical procedures like physical therapy, non-steroidal and anti-inflammatory drugs, and many others. Also, the joint degeneration process may lead the hip joint to become stiff and impact the hip’s range of motion during performing normal activities. People suffering from such conditions need to undergo hip replacement surgery.

In 90% of the cases, people undergoing hip replacement suffer from osteoarthritis.

What is the Latest Procedure for Hip Replacement?

During the surgical procedure of Hip replacement, the surgeon makes an incision at the front or the side of the hip to remove the damaged joint bone and cartilage. Once the damaged part is removed, it’s replaced by prosthetic components. The damaged femoral head is replaced by the metal stem that is placed at the hollow centre of the femur.

The damaged femoral head is replaced by a metal or ceramic ball which is placed on the upper part of the stem. The damaged cartilage surface of the socket is removed and replaced with a metal one. Finally, a plastic, ceramic, and metal spacer are inserted between the socket and the new ball for a smooth gliding surface.

in PMG Hospital, the hip Replacement or hip Arthroplasty will perform by an expert and reputable orthopedic surgeon, Dr Hiren Patel. If orthopedic surgeon has suggested an hip replacement then Dr.Hiren patel is best option to seek consultation and second opinion.

How Long Does It Take to Recover After Hip Replacement Surgery?

After several hours of surgery, a patient may need around 2-3 days to a week of hospital stay. Next is to strengthen the muscles around the hip with exercises to aid a faster recovery rate. You may start to walk with a walker or assistive devices. Normal patients take around 3 to 6 weeks to recover from the surgery and drive again after 6 weeks.
Since the hip joint is a simpler joint compared to the knee joint, the recovery rate in the hip replacement surgery is faster than knee replacement. Even in severe hip damage cases, patients may get fully recovered after 6 months of the surgery.
