      What is Total Hip Replacement (THR)?

      Total Hip Replacement Surgery (THR Surgery) is also known as hip arthroplasty. It is a surgical procedure to address hip pain. With the help of surgery damaged hip joint components are replaced by artificial implants. A ball (at the top of the femur, also called the thigh bone) and a socket (in the pelvis, also called the hip bone) make up the hip joint. 

      One or both components may need to be replaced during hip replacement surgery. The main goal of the surgery is to allow individuals to engage in daily routines and physical activities with reduced pain.

      Below mentioned are the types of THR surgery:

      • Total hip replacement: In this procedure, the whole hip is replaced by a prosthetic joint by a surgeon. Surgeon will replace the thigh bone, or femur, and the socket it fits into, or the acetabulum. Hip replacements are nearly always total hip arthroplasty.
      • Partial hip replacement: Partial hip replacements are very rare. In this procedure, the surgeon will only replace a part of the hip. This procedure is usually performed to repair certain types of broken hips (hip fractures) or to remove certain types of tumors.
      • Hip resurfacing: Typically, hip resurfacing of the femoral head and socket is performed more frequently on younger, more active patients.

      Symptoms

      The below mentioned are some of the common sign and symptoms of THR:

      • Pain around the hip joint
      • Groin or thigh pain radiating towards buttocks or knee
      • Pain that flares up with vigorous activity
      • Hip joint stiffness that makes difficult to walk or bend
      • Difficulty while standing on one leg
      • Hip arthritis
      • Reduced range of motion in hip that impairs walking and may result in a limp
      • Increase in joint pain with rainy weather
      • "Locking" or "sticking" of the joint, and a grinding noise during movement caused by loose fragments of cartilage and other tissue interfering with smooth motion of the hip

      When and how to identify you need a treatment?

      The most frequent cause of hip pain and associated problems for hip replacements is arthritis. Most common types of arthritis that affect your hip are:

      • Osteoarthritis
      • Rheumatoid arthritis
      • Psoriatic arthritis

      Other health conditions and issues are also there that can damage hip joint and can cause a need for total hip transplant includes:

      • Osteonecrosis.
      • Traumas (car accidents or falls)
      • Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI or hip impingement).
      • Hip dysplasia.
      • Benign tumors (neoplasms).
      • Cancer.
      • Perthes disease.

      Some of the signs are there which can help in accessing a need for hip replacement surgery:

      • Persistent or recurring pain around hip joint
      • Increasing pain, discomfort and immobility from a previous hip injury (such as a fractured pelvis, hip fracture or joint damage)
      • Difficulty exercising
      • Activity related pain and stiffness
      • Limited mobility
      • Disturbed sleep
      • Noticeable changes in the hip joint

      Treatment options and utilities of treatment options at TaCa

      Surgical treatment options for total hip replacement are mentioned below:

      • Minimally invasive hip replacement: This procedure seeks to reduce the surgical impact on healthy tissues like muscles and blood vessels. Although anterior hip replacement has been promoted as a minimally invasive method, today orthopedic surgeons apply minimally invasive techniques across all surgical approaches to access the hip. In minimally invasive surgery, the hip joint is accessed through one or two small incisions made by the surgeon by moving the muscles aside.
      • Traditional hip replacement: It involves a single, significant incision that allows the surgeon to access the hip, typically either from the side (lateral approach) or back (posterior approach). Recovery from this type of hip replacement can be time taking as the surgeon may need to detach certain muscles and tendons to reach the joint.

        Usually, hip transplant surgeries are very successful. Most people who have a hip replacement experience a decrease in their symptoms such as, reduced pain and stiffness along with increased mobility and range of motion after complete recovery.

        TaCa is having a team of skilled or good surgeons that are important because they know the significance of determining when surgery is necessary and when it's not. They recognize that the decision-making process holds more significance than the surgical procedure itself. Ultimately, the aim of any surgery is to serve the patient's well-being.

        • Infection
        • Blood clot/ deep vein thrombosis
        • Prosthesis loosening or dislocating
        • Bone fractures around prosthesis
        • Joint stiffness

        Several factors are there which are responsible for the cost of Total Hip Replacement Surgery:

        • Type and severity of damaged hip components
        • Type of surgery performed
        • Hospital’s type and location 
        • Anesthesiologist fee
        • Medication cost
        • Cost of diagnostic tests

        Usually, it takes several months to recover after THR operation. Patients will also need physical therapy for a few months after undergoing hip transplant surgery. On average, hip replacement recovery can take around 2–4 weeks. Before hip function is completely restored, one may need to wait for 6–12 weeks as strength and range of motion progressively return.
