The hip joint is a complex structure that consists of the ball-and-socket joint, where the femur meets the pelvis. The femoral head is the rounded part of the femur bone, and the acetabulum is the cup-shaped hollow in the pelvis. Cartilage lines the hip joint to prevent the bones from rubbing against each other and provide cushioning. The muscles and tendons around the hip joint provide additional support and allow fine control of movement.
Injuries or illnesses affecting the hip joint can cause pain and limit mobility. In such cases, a comprehensive hip joint evaluation and function is critical. On that, it depends on whether non-surgical treatment is enough or there is a need for Hip Replacement Surgery.
Considering the concerns of patients regarding recovery, rehabilitation, correct diagnosis, and comprehensive treatment, Dr. Ateet Sharma provides the best Hip Replacement Surgery in Ahmedabad.
Dysplasia- Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a congenital condition in which the hip joint fails to develop properly in the womb. This can lead to instability of the hip joint and increased wear and tear on the joint surfaces, resulting in pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking. If left untreated, DDH can progress to arthritis and the eventual need for hip replacement surgery. It is important to diagnose and treat DDH early to improve the chances of successful treatment.
Hip Labral Tear- A common hip injury where the labrum (a ring of cartilage surrounding the hip socket) gets damaged. Trauma, repetitive motions, overuse, or deformities can lead to this tear. A person with this may feel hip pain, stiffness, and a clicking sensation. Usually, dancers and athletes who engage in activities requiring hip rotation (soccer players) face hip labral tears. Surgical intervention like Hip Replacement Treatment helps to repair or remove the torn labrum.
Hip Arthritis- Injuries due to falls or accidents cause post-traumatic arthritis over time. It is because the joint starts to degenerate. Arthritis can happen also due to other health conditions that cause inflammation. The most common is osteoarthritis (wear down of hip cartilage) and rheumatoid arthritis (immune system problem), which when in advanced stages, require hip replacement surgery.
Hip Necrosis- Hip necrosis occurs when there is a disruption of the blood supply to the hip bone, leading to bone tissue death. Trauma, corticosteroid use, and excessive alcohol consumption are reasons that may cause hip necrosis. Its consequences can be severe, like severe pain, limited mobility, and ultimately joint degeneration. Dr. Ateet Sharma suggests early diagnosis and further performs Hip Replacement Treatment for advanced cases to alleviate pain and restore hip function.
Fractures, Subluxation, & Dislocations- Hip fractures are a common injury that involves a break in the femur (thigh bone) near the hip joint. They can be caused by trauma, such as a fall, or by conditions like osteoporosis. Subluxation is a partial dislocation where the hip joint's surfaces are partially separated. This can occur due to injury or joint laxity (the looseness of the joint's ligaments).
Dislocation is a more severe condition where the hip joint completely loses contact due to trauma or congenital conditions.
There are certain conditions that make a person a probable candidate for the replacement. All these are noted and evaluated before Hip Replacement Surgery at KD Hospital by Dr. Ateet Sharma.
These conditions can lead to significant pain, swelling, and impaired mobility, which can affect a person's ability to carry out their daily activities. But Hip Replacement Surgery can effectively help treat these hip disorders. A consultation with an expert Hip Replacement Surgeon is required before proceeding with any surgical intervention.
Different approaches are there for the treatment of hip disorders. Non-surgical, when ineffective, leads to the option of Hip Replacement Surgery. At our hospital, three ways of replacing the hip joint are there to protect it from further damage and restore normal hip function. Three prominent Hip Replacement Treatment in Ahmedabad performed by Dr. Ateet Sharma are total, partial, and resurfacing. It is both conventional and Robotic Hip Replacement Surgery, chosen depending upon the patient and their overall condition.
Total Hip Replacement- Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure to relieve pain and restore hip functionality in people suffering from severe hip joint conditions. This intervention involves the complete replacement of the damaged hip joint with an artificial implant. The implant comprises a metal socket and a ceramic or metal ball, often recommended for various hip conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and hip fractures. A thorough evaluation of the patient's health, joint condition, and medical history is conducted before finalizing the procedure.
Partial Hip Replacement- Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) is a surgical procedure that replaces only the damaged or diseased part of the hip joint. Unlike Total Hip Replacement (THR), which involves replacing the entire joint, Partial Hip Replacement addresses specific issues, often targeting the femoral head. This procedure is commonly employed for certain hip fractures, particularly those affecting the femoral neck. With this procedure, the remaining portions remain healthy.
Hip Resurfacing- Hip Resurfacing is a modern surgical technique that aims to retain more of the natural hip joint as compared to the conventional hip replacement process. The procedure involves modifying the surface of the femoral head and covering it with a metal prosthesis. It is usually recommended for individuals with hip conditions who wish to lead an active life. This technique is suitable for cases where there is localized joint damage and the surrounding tissues are healthy.
When hip problems occur, there are ways to fix them, starting from simple treatments to full-on surgery. At our hospital, Dr. Ateet Sharma offers different types of hip surgeries. Total hip replacement and Partial hip replacement fix the damaged part. Then there's hip resurfacing, a newer method that keeps more of your natural joint. Each surgery has its own benefits, depending on the severity of the condition and overall health.
For improved precision, the hospital has the facility of Robotic Hip Replacement Treatment in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This advanced procedure provides improved precision and accuracy while being minimally invasive.
The robotic technology used in this treatment is based on a 3D model that helps to create an accurate map of the patient's hip joint. Our surgeon performs the procedure with great accuracy, resulting in a more precise incision and implantation. As a result, there is minimal blood loss and no harm to tissues around the damaged hip section. One of the most significant advantages of robot-assisted hip replacement is that it ensures better implant stability and a longer lifespan of the prosthesis. Due to this, the implant fits perfectly and is securely placed in the body. If you are looking for a safe, effective, and minimally invasive hip replacement procedure that ensures a faster recovery and longer lifespan of the implant, then the Robotic Hip Replacement Treatment in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, might be the perfect solution for you.
