Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a part or all of the severely arthritic hip joint is replaced with an artificial joint. This procedure can vary depending on the patient's age and overall health condition, in terms of the prosthesis used and the material of the prosthesis. Ceramic prostheses are generally preferred for young patients, while prostheses made from a special plastic called polyethylene are used for older patients.
Hip replacement surgery can also be an option for patients with hip fractures. In this case, partial or total hip replacement can be applied depending on patient's age and severity of the fracture. The surgery process usually takes about two hours and most patients stay in the hospital for three to four days after surgery. This period is necessary, especially for wound care and physical therapy. Patients start walking within hours after surgery.
In the first month after surgery, it is recommended that patients use a toilet riser and avoid excessive strain on their hip joints. After their control at post operative 3rd week, most patients can return to their daily activities. A quality hip prosthesis, when applied with a good technique, allows patients to use their hip joints painlessly for at least 15-20 years. Our clinic uses hip implants that are worldly well known, have been on the market for a long time and are approved by world standards. In conclusion, the main goal of hip replacement surgery is to restore the patient's mobility and allow them to comfortably perform their daily activities. This can significantly improve patients' quality of life and offer them a more active and independent life.
1. Frequently Asked Questions:
There are some points that the patient needs to apply and pay attention to both during the recovery process and after the recovery process after hip replacement surgery. These include eating healthy and balanced for strengthening bone and muscle tissue, and not neglecting exercise programs.
Although promoted in early adulthood under special conditions; It is mostly an operation done after middle age. There is no upper age limit for this operation. It can be applied to everyone who has completed their bone development, according to indications.
There may be non-surgical treatments such as medications, physiotherapy applications, PRP or stem cell-like intra-articular injections, use of a cane as indicated by the patient. However, surgeries should not be delayed in patients who do not benefit from these non-operative treatments. Because if the treatment is postponed, both the knees and other hip areas and even the already healthy lumbar and back areas are at serious risk of calcification and deterioration. Since all of these areas will be exposed to more stress, the possibility of having surgery in these articulaons in the future increases with the delay of the hip replacement surgery.
The most common symptom in hip prosthesis candidate patients is
severe
pain. Pain that initially only occurs when you walk, will start to
bother you even during your resting times in the later process.
Other
symptoms can be listed as follows:
- Restriction of movement,
- Shortness in leg,
- Limping.
When a qualified surgeon uses quality centers and quality materials, the hip replacement is expected to last a lifetime. Although dependent on many factors, it is expected that the implants will last at least 15 years if quality is not compromised. There are even patients this period is exceeding 30 years now. In patients who have been properly followed up in the long term; When the implant completes its lifetime, it is possible to replace only the insert parts instead of replacing the entire implant. In some cases where the implant has completed its life, the entire implant, including the main parts that settle into the bone, can be replaced. In both cases, the life of the new implant can be the same as the first prostheses.
Patients undergo hip prosthesis surgery and are encouraged to walk as early as the following day, as this helps alleviate movement restrictions, pain, and limping. To ensure a controlled and safe rehabilitation process, patients initially use a walker. Depending on the individual's progress and condition, they may transition to using crutches within 2-3 weeks.
