Hip and Knee Replacements: Two of the Most Common Orthopedic Surgery Procedures

Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on treating conditions involving the musculature system. Surgeons who specialize in this field of medicine treat musculature trauma, degenerative diseases, sports injuries, tumors, congenital disorders, and infections. 

                                                          

HipReplacement

A hip replacement, also known as a hip arthroscopic  is a procedure where the patient's hip is surgically replaced with a prosthetic implant. Currently, they are the most common of all orthopedic surgery procedures. There are two different procedures available: a total and a half. In a total hip replacement.

                                                          

Pros of this procedure include:

• It is a well-practiced surgery with limited complications
• It can be performed on more individuals with complicated hips
• There is a limited risk of metal ions releasing into the blood from the metal on plastic and ceramic models.
  

Cons include:

• There is some limitation in mobility follow the surgery due to a risk of dislocation
• Revisions are typically required every 10-25 years (this means replacement of the plastic cup)

Knee Replacement

A knee replacement, also referred to as a knee arthroplasty, is a type of orthopedic surgery that features replacement of the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint. This surgical procedure is generally performed to relieve joint pain and other symptoms caused by osteoarthritis or other knee diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.

Like hip replacements, knee replacements come in two varieties: partial and total. This orthopedic surgery procedure consists of replacing joint surfaces that have been diseased or damaged with metal or plastic replacements. The replacement parts have been specially formed and shaped to allow maximum continued motion of the knee.

Pros of this procedure include:

• It has a long life and lasts for about 15 years.
• It is a very popular treatment that has stood the test of time.

Cons include:

• It is a more time consuming operation than partial knee replacement, wherein more bone needs to be removed and involves a bigger incision
• A longer hospital stay is required and the recovery period often takes much longer.
• A blood transfusion maybe needed.
• You might have difficulty moving, especially bending your knee

Ceramic Hip Replacement - The Safest Type Of Implant!!!!!!

DoI need a hip replacements?

You won’t necessarily need a hip replacement if you have arthritis of the hip, but it may be worth considering if your hip is severely damaged and the pain, disability or stiffness are having serious effects on your daily activities. 

Hip Replacement

Hipreplacement surgery is for people with severe hip damage. When you have a hip replacement, the hip surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone from your hip joint and replaces them with new, man-made parts. This can relieve pain, reduce hip stiffness and help your hip joint work well, and improve your walking and other movements. 

Hip replacement is a procedure performed in order to treat:

• osteoarthritis of the hip joint (bone on bone)

• severe pain in hip joint

• loss of motion in hip joint

• deformity of the hip joint

• hip injuries

• rheumatoid arthritis

• bone tumor

• bone loss due to insufficient blood supply

Traditional Hip Replacements

In the traditional metal and plastic hip replacements, the plastic wears out slowly over time. As the plastic wears out, small particles of plastic debris are generated. This plastic debris triggers a response by your body which can lead to loosening of implants over time.

Ceramic Hip Replacement  

Ceramichip replacement is among the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures, and the results are excellent. Over 90% of patients have excellent pain relief and improved ability to perform routine daily activities. 

Ceramic hip replacements have been developed in an effort to decrease the wearing out of hip implants. These implants are very hard, and very smooth. These characteristics could help to decrease the amount of wear within the implants. 

                                                  

Ceramic hip replacements are an attractive new development in orthopedic surgery.

Benefits Of Ceramic Hip Replacement 

Ceramic hip replacements are an improvement on traditional hip replacements for a number of reasons. Some of the benefits to a ceramic hip replacement solution include:

• Better wear characteristics than traditional hip replacements
• Pain relief from achy, arthritic joints: ceramic hip replacements accomplish the same goals of hip replacement, but with longer-lasting results
• Lowered chance of breaking because of the material: ceramic is more durable than the plastics used for other hip replacements.
  
  

Advantages And Disadvantages 

• Freedom from pain
• Improved mobility
• Improved quality of life
• Some limitations in movement
