The hip joint is one of the largest joints in your body and functions like a ball and joint. Pain and stiffness in this joint caused by arthritis can significantly affect your quality of life and make you consider hip replacement surgery. However, for younger patients with strong bones, the well-known procedure using a new type of implant may be the best choice and offers numerous benefits for Hip Resurfacing for Women in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah.
What is the Treatment?
The treatment is an alternative to hip replacement surgery. It is aimed mainly at young subjects with hip pathology, differentiating itself from the traditional hip prosthesis surgery, since the head of the femur is not amputated, but instead is preserved and coated; therefore, both the acetabular part and the femoral part are coated, maintaining the anatomy and physiology of the joint.
Who Should Get the Treatment?
If you have more advanced osteoarthritis and you’ve run out of non-surgical treatment options, your doctor may recommend surgery. Surgery should only be considered if the hip joint significantly affects the quality of life and interferes with normal activities. Not suitable for all patients. As a rule, the best candidates for treatment are younger, older patients with strong and healthy bones. Older female patients with smaller structures and weak or damaged bones are at greater risk for complications such as hip fractures.
What are the Benefits?
Although new hip replacement implants can last up to 20 years, surgeons typically want to preserve as much natural bone as possible in younger patients. Therefore, hip insertion is attractive as it allows a larger portion of the natural joint to remain intact. This increases mobility. The idea of preserving the bone is a worthwhile endeavor because I don’t believe any action you can take will last forever.
In addition, this Hip Resurfacing for Women in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah has multiple advantages over the prosthesis including:
- Minimally invasive
- The higher precision
- The absence of the typical complications of hip prostheses, such as dislocation or the difference in length of the limbs
Another advantage of the treatemnt is faster recovery time. In most cases, the recovery time after hip replacement is shorter than after total hip replacement.
Who can get the Treatment?
It is ideal for people who do not have arthritis that causes joint pain, as well as other joint or bone conditions. If you are under 55 and have otherwise healthy bones, this may be a better option for you than a full hip replacement.
However, this procedure does not make sense for everyone with hip arthritis. This is for a subset of patients who show pain and stiffness but have good bones. If the bone is broken or weak, there is a greater risk that the valve may loosen, or the bone may break. People with osteoporosis or a condition known as hip avascular necrosis which causes severe joint destruction due to poor blood flow are not candidates for the surgery.
How is the Treatment Performed?
It is a much more difficult technique than conventional prosthesis operations. Since the head is removed by cutting the head in the classical prosthesis, the socket can be seen much more easily, it is carved, and the prosthesis is placed. Since the head is protected in surface coating prostheses, this process is much more difficult. Since the head is cut and removed in classical prostheses, there is no problem with the preservation of the vessels leading to the head.
In surface coating prostheses, on the other hand, since a significant part of the head remains, it requires the protection of the vessels. This makes some stages of the operation much more difficult and requires careful attention.
