Hemiarthroplasty of the Hip
Welcome to Body Fusion, your trusted destination for comprehensive orthopedic care. In this article, we will explore hemiarthroplasty of the hip, a remarkable surgical procedure performed by our skilled team to address various hip injuries and conditions.
The Importance of Hemiarthroplasty
Hemiarthroplasty, also known as hemiarthroplasty hip replacement, is a surgical intervention primarily used to treat fractures of the femoral neck. This procedure involves replacing the femoral head (the ball-shaped portion of the hip joint) with a prosthesis while leaving the native acetabulum (socket) intact.
At Body Fusion, we understand the impact of hip injuries and conditions on your day-to-day life. Our expert surgeons use hemiarthroplasty as an effective solution to restore joint stability, relieve pain, and improve overall function.
Performing Hemiarthroplasty
The hemiarthroplasty procedure typically begins with the administration of anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the surgery. Our skilled surgeons then make a carefully planned incision to access the hip joint. Specialized instruments are used to remove the damaged femoral head and prepare the femur to receive the prosthetic component.
Next, the artificial femoral head is securely placed, ensuring proper fit and fixation. Our surgeons employ their extensive experience and precision to optimize the alignment and stability of the new joint, promoting long-term success and a faster recovery.
Conditions Treated with Hemiarthroplasty
Hemiarthroplasty is commonly performed to address:
- Femoral neck fractures
- Osteoarthritis
- Avascular necrosis of the femoral head
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- And other hip conditions
Please note that the suitability of hemiarthroplasty depends on various factors, including the severity of your condition, bone quality, and your overall health. Our knowledgeable team will evaluate your individual case and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.
Benefits and Risks
Hemiarthroplasty offers several benefits, including:
- Relief from chronic hip pain
- Improved mobility and functionality
- Increased joint stability
- Enhanced quality of life
As with any surgical procedure, hemiarthroplasty carries some risks, such as infection, blood clots, dislocation, and implant-related complications. However, our team follows rigorous protocols and employs advanced techniques to minimize these risks and ensure your safety.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After the surgery, our dedicated team will closely monitor your recovery progress and provide tailored rehabilitation plans. Rehabilitation may involve physical therapy, exercises, and gradually returning to regular activities under professional guidance.
