Hip & Knee Reconstruction
Total hip replacement is a procedure that removes the bone and cartilage of the hip that has been damaged due to arthritis and replaces them with metal and plastic components.
These components mimic the anatomy and function of a healthy hip so that you can return to activities without the pain caused by arthritis.
Like other forms of arthritis, arthritis of the hip is also a progressive disorder that worsens over time, affecting your mobility.
The Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeons at OrthoNeuro have performed thousands of total hip replacements and are experts in this procedure using the latest advancements in surgical techniques.
A total hip replacement may be recommended to treat severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis that does not respond to nonsurgical treatment.
At OrthoNeuro, a total hip replacement can be performed as an outpatient or inpatient procedure based on what you and your OrthoNeuro surgeon feel are best for you.
A traditional total hip replacement usually uses two incisions to access the hip joint.
Once these incisions are made:
Your OrthoNeuro surgeon then takes X-rays to make sure the components are perfectly in place. Range of motion is also checked and the incision is then closed.
Typical surgical time is approximately 2 hours.
Anterior approach to total hip replacement surgery is a newer technique and alternative to the traditional total hip replacement surgery that is offered by many of the Joint Replacement Specialists at OrthoNeuro.
This technique may offer benefits such as quicker recovery and less pain.
The surgeon does not need to detach any of the muscles or tendons with this technique and because no major muscles are cut or detached, this reduces post-operative pain and leads to a faster recovery.
