Total Hip Replacement in India

 

 A ]  Uncemented / Cementless Total Hip Replacement in India

Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure for replacing the hip joint. This joint is composed of two parts - the hip socket (acetabulum, a cup-shaped bone in the pelvis) and the "ball" or head of the thighbone (femur). During the surgical procedure, these two parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with smooth artificial surfaces. The artificial socket is made of high-density plastic, while the artificial ball with its stem is made of a strong stainless metal. These artificial pieces are implanted into healthy portions of the pelvis and thighbones and affixed with a bone cement (methyl methacrylate)....

 

When is total hip replacement considered ?

Circumstances vary, but generally, patients are considered for total hip replacements if : -

• Your pain is severe enough to restrict work, recreation, and the ordinary activities of daily living.
• Your pain is not relieved by anti-inflammatory medicine, the use of a cane or walker and restricting activities.
• You have significant stiffness of the hip.
• Your x-rays show advanced arthritis, or other problems....

 

What can I expect of a total hip replacement ?

A total hip replacement will provide pain relief in 90 to 95 percent of patients. It will allow patients to carry out many normal activities of daily living....

 

 B ]  Uncemented / Cementless Total Hip Replacement

In the 1980s, new implant designs were introduced to attach directly to bone without the use of cement. In general, these designs are larger and longer than those used with cement.

They also have a surface topography that is conducive to attracting new bone growth. Most are textured or have a surface coating around much of the implant so that the new bone actually grows into the surface of the implant. Because they depend on new bone growth for stability, cementless implants require a longer healing time than cemented replacements...

 

What are the risks of total hip replacement ?

Total hip replacement is a major operation. The effect of most complications is simply that the patient stays in the hospital longer...

These include : -

• Blood clots in the leg
• Urinary infections or difficulty urinating
• Blood clots in the lung

 

Complications that affect the hip are less common, but in these cases, the operation may not be as successful : -

• Difference in leg length
• Stiffness
• Dislocation of hip (ball pops out of socket)
• Infection in the hip...

 

How long will I be in the hospital after surgery ?

The hospital stay usually ranges from three to four days. Patients who live with someone who can assist them, are usually able to go home without much problem....

 

How successful is total hip replacement surgery ?

Results are generally very good; most people are relieved of all their hip and groin pain and the replaced joint will usually last ten years, depending on patient use and activity levels....

 

Preparing for Surgery

Preparing for a total hip replacement begins several weeks before the actual surgery. Maintaining good physical health before your operation is important and activities that increase upper body strength will improve your ability to use a walker or crutches after the operation....

 

Will I need anything special at home ?

You will need a hand rails on the stairway into the house, an elevated toilet seat, and crutches or a walker. Optional things include handrails around the toilet, bath areas, and stairwells. Any scatter rugs should be removed and torn areas in the carpet or tile tacked down to prevent falling. In addition, watch out for small pets that may get underfoot!...

 

Pre-op Visit

Due to changes in insurance coverage, it is necessary for most patients to visit the hospital before their actual surgery date. This visit usually lasts several hours, so plan to spend most of the day.

The day begins in the clinic, where an interview by the nursing staff concerning past medical history and current medications will be taken, as well as a chest x-ray. You may be instructed to stop taking your anti-inflammatory medications (Ibuprofen, Naprosyn, Relafen, DayPro, Aspirin) one week before surgery....

 

Pre-op Exercises

Deep Breathing Exercises : -

You should exercise your lungs every day before surgery by inhaling deeply through your nose, then slowly exhaling through your mouth. Repeat this three times and then cough two times, every 30 minutes. These exercises are necessary to remove any excess secretions that may settle in your lungs while you are asleep during surgery...

Ankle Pumps : -

 You should pump your ankles back and forth 1000 times every day. This is your best defense against blood clots. Crutches/Walker Please bring crutches or a walker with you to the hospital, so we can make sure that the equipment is in good working order and set at the right height for you....

 

What happens after I arrive at the hospital ?

You should arrive at the hospital at the instructed time and go to the Surgery Prep area. The nurse will spend a few minutes making sure that you are still in good health and ready for surgery. The nurses will try to give you a good estimation of when you will be going into surgery. However, it is hard to predict how long every surgery is going to take, so expect some waiting time and bring something to help pass the time like a magazine, book or other quiet activity...

 

How long does the surgery take ?

The actual surgical procedure usually takes about 1-3 hours. However, preoperative preparation as well as wake-up time may make your operating room and recovery room stay longer....

 

What should I expect after surgery ?

After surgery, you will be taken to the Recovery Room for approximately 2 hours for observation. Your blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and temperature will be checked frequently. Close attention will be paid to the circulation and sensation in your legs and feet. It is important to tell your nurse if you experience numbness, tingling, or pain in your legs or feet. When you awaken and your condition is stabilized, you will be transferred to your room....

 

Pain Control

An epidural or a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) is used for the first two to three days after your surgery. When the epidural or PCA is discontinued, your doctor will prescribe pain medication to be taken by mouth. It is important to continue taking them because preventing pain is easier than chasing it. If you continue to experience pain after taking the medication, we encourage you to notify your nurse so alternate methods of pain control can be started...

 

This precaution will be permanent.

Your incision : -

Keep the incision clean and dry. Also, upon returning home, be aware of certain warning signs. If any swelling, increased pain, drainage from the incision site, redness around the incision, or fever is noticed, report this immediately to the doctor. Generally, the staples are removed in 2 weeks...

Prevention of infection : -

If at any time (even years after the surgery) an infection develops such as strep throat or pneumonia, notify your physician. Antibiotics should be administered promptly to prevent the occasional complication of distant infection localizing in the hip area...

 

Remember

 Your physician, physical therapist, and nurses are striving to make a painless, functional hip possible for you. The real success of your hip replacement, however, depends partly on you - especially how conscientiously you exercise and how diligently you apply follow the hip precautions...
