Description

Overview

When a painful hip-joint is surgically removed and replaced with an artificial joint made of metal and plastic components, the procedure is called hip replacement surgery.

hip fracture – during an accident or a fall, if a hip joint gets severely damaged it may be necessary to replace the same

osteoarthritis –when the cartilage inside a hip joint undergoes so-called "wear and tear", it leads to the bones rubbing against each other

rheumatoid arthritis – this is caused when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joint leading to pain and stiffness

Surgery process

A hip replacement surgery can either be carried out under a general anaesthetic (the patient is asleep during the procedure) or an epidural (the lower body is numbed). Typically, the surgeon begins with making an incision into the hip. Next, he removes the damaged hip joint and replaces it with an artificial one. The replaced joint could be a metal alloy or, in some cases, ceramic as well. The duration of the surgery is usually around 60-90 minutes.

Symptoms

Stiffness of the joint that occurs when getting out of bed Joint stiffness after sitting for a long duration Pain, swelling or tenderness experienced in the hip joint A sort of "crunching" feeling of a bone rubbing against another bone
