Hip Arthroplasty (click for worldwide facilities list): Total hip replacement (THR), also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the portions of the hip joint that contain the damaged surfaces are replaced with biocompatible devices that provide a smooth and painless range of motion. Such joint replacement orthopaedic surgery generally is conducted to relieve arthritis pain or fix severe physical joint damage as part of the hip fracture treatment.
Total hip replacement is most commonly used to treat joint failure caused by osteoarthritis. Other indications include rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis, protrusio acetabuli certain hip fractures, benign and malignant bone tumors, arthritis associated with Paget's disease, ankylosing spondylitis and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The goals of THR are restoration of a functional range of motion for walking and stair climbing, pain-free ambulation, stability, and a return to moderate recreational activities. Hip replacement is usually considered only once other therapies, such as pain medications, have failed.
Arthritis of the hip is a condition in which the smooth gliding surfaces of your hip joint (articular cartilage) have become damaged. This usually results in pain, stiffness and reduced flexibility. The most common type of arthritis, Osteoarthritis, typically develops in older patients due to a lifetime of wear and tear, which results in a breakdown of the normally smooth joint surfaces.
Other forms of arthritis, which may lead to total hip replacement:
- Post-Traumatic Arthritis develops as a result of an injury, such as a fracture in the hip joint that doesn’t heal properly.
- Rheumatoid or Inflammatory Arthritis results from an inflammatory condition or autoimmune disease.
- Osteonecrosis patients may develop arthritis rather unexpectedly, resulting in a sudden onset of pain in the hip. Aside from trauma, a number of other agents can lead to osteonecrosis such as use of steroids, excessive alcohol intake, certain metabolic conditions.
There have been several advancements in total hip replacements (THR) in recent years. If the preoperative factors are more severe, modular implants and/or bone-grafting options similar to those used in revisions may be required. A few of these complex conditions include:
- Dysplasia of the Hip - Approximately 20% - 50% of degenerative hip arthritis is believed to arise secondary to hip dysplasia. Patients are usually in their 50s and small in stature.
- Ankylosis of the Hip - With hip ankylosis there is a total loss of hip motion. Ankylosis of the hip can either occur spontaneously or be surgically acquired.
- Hip Fractures - Hip fracture configurations vary according to the energy of transferred force and the age of the patient. While in young adults fractures are often associated with high-energy trauma, fractures in the elderly can occur with minor trauma such as falling.
Hip replacement used to be an option primarily for adults age 60 and above. But improved technology has made strong and longer lasting artificial joints that are feasible for more active people, including younger people. However, active people face the possibility of another surgery to replace worn out artificial hip joints after 15 or 20 years.
