Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip replacement surgery in Hyderabad is a procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, that is, a hip prosthesis. This surgery is suggested by the doctor when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate pain relief. We are amongst the best hospitals for the treatment of hip fractures in Hyderabad. A broken or dislocated joint can prevent the flow of blood to the bone, leading to avascular necrosis. An artificial joint is a prosthetic often made from metal and plastic components

The patient is injected with general anaesthesia to relax their muscles. We have some of the best doctors for the treatment of hip fracture in Hyderabad, who will then cut the side of the hip to expose the hip joint. Next, the damaged portion of the joint is removed by cutting the thigh bone with a saw. Then an artificial joint is attached to the thigh bone using cement that allows the bone to connect to the joint. The doctor then prepares the surface of the hipbone by removing any damaged cartilage and attaches the replacement prosthetic. However, the surgeon must be highly skilled in this technique. After surgery, the patient may be asked to do gentle exercises in bed, such as:

1. Bending and flexing the ankle
2. Contracting and relaxing the quadriceps muscles
3. Gentle exercises may be done for a few minutes each hour to facilitate blood flow
4. Pivoting or twisting on the affected leg should be avoided for 6 to 12 months after surgery.

Most hip replacement patients will be discharged within 2 to 5 days once the pain is under control, and the patient can get in and out of bed and walk short distances and perform day-to-day activities.
