Hip Hemiarthroplasty
Hip hemiarthroplasty, also known as partial hip replacement, is a surgical procedure that involves replacing only the damaged or worn-out portion of the hip joint, typically the femoral head (ball part of the hip joint). This treatment is typically recommended for individuals who have sustained a hip fracture or have severe arthritis affecting only the femoral head.
Initial Evaluation
At Rejoice Orthocare Clinic, Dr. Ramakant Bhivsan starts with a comprehensive evaluation to assess the patient's hip condition, medical history, and overall health. This initial assessment helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan, which may include non-surgical options or a recommendation for hip hemiarthroplasty surgery.
Surgical Planning
If hip hemiarthroplasty is recommended, Dr. Bhivsan and his team will carefully plan the surgical procedure. This includes selecting the appropriate implant components, determining the surgical approach, and ensuring the patient is properly prepared for the operation.
Hip Hemiarthroplasty Surgery
During the hip hemiarthroplasty surgery, Dr. Bhivsan will remove the damaged portion of the hip joint, typically the femoral head, and replace it with an artificial implant made of high-quality materials. This procedure aims to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve the patient's overall quality of life.
Post-operative Care
After the surgery, the patient will receive comprehensive post-operative care, including pain management, physical therapy, and follow-up appointments with Dr. Bhivsan. This phase is crucial for a successful recovery and regaining optimal hip function.
Rehabilitation and Recovery
Rejoice Orthocare Clinic provides a structured rehabilitation program to help patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility after their hip hemiarthroplasty surgery. Dr. Bhivsan and his team closely monitor the patient's progress and provide guidance throughout the recovery process.
Follow-up and Ongoing Care
Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Bhivsan are essential to ensure the long-term success of the hip hemiarthroplasty. The clinic provides ongoing care and support to address any concerns or issues that may arise during the recovery and post-operative period.
Any Questions
Individuals who have sustained a hip fracture or have severe arthritis affecting only the femoral head may be candidates for a hip hemiarthroplasty.
Hip hemiarthroplasty offers several benefits, including a smaller incision, faster recovery, and preservation of more of the natural hip joint compared to a total hip replacement.
The recovery process for a hip hemiarthroplasty is typically shorter than a total hip replacement. At Rejoice Orthocare Clinic, we provide a comprehensive rehabilitation program to help patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility after the surgery.
With proper care and maintenance, hip hemiarthroplasty implants can last for 10-15 years or more. Our surgeons use high-quality implants and follow best practices to ensure longevity.
