The surgeon removes the damaged parts of the hip joint and replaces them with parts that are typically made of metal, ceramic, and very hard plastic. This artificial joint (prosthesis) helps to reduce pain and improve function.
Total hip replacement is a good option for you if hip pain interferes with your daily activities, and non-surgical treatments have not helped or are no longer effective. Damage from arthritis is the most common reason for the need for total hip replacement.

The Most Important Symptoms :

In the case of acute hip arthritis, there is cartilage loss in the surface of the socket in the pelvic bone. This leads to severe pain that hinders the ability to walk, and therefore the patient cannot practice their normal life.

How long does hip replacement surgery take ?

The operation to replace the hip joint takes about two hours in most cases, and the operation time may be longer in some advanced or complicated cases.

What is the success rate of hip replacement surgery ?

Hip replacement surgery has a high success rate, with most patients regaining full range of motion. The remaining patients regain most of their range of motion. The benefit in this regard varies from patient to patient depending on the condition, the patient's overall health, and the care and rehabilitation after surgery.

What is hip arthroscopy ?

Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat hip problems. The surgeon will make several small incisions in the hip skin and insert a special instrument called an arthroscope into the hip joint. The arthroscope has a camera and light that allow the surgeon to see and repair damage inside the hip. Other small instruments needed to repair damage to the bones or soft tissue can also be placed this way.
The incisions required for hip arthroscopy are much smaller than those for other types of surgery, which means they will put less stress on your body than other procedures. You will need physical therapy after surgery to increase your strength and range of motion in your hip. Many patients need several months to recover from hip arthroscopy.

What happens during hip arthroscopy ?

During hip arthroscopy, the surgeon will make several small incisions (about the size of a buttonhole) in the hip skin and insert an arthroscope and other instruments that are needed to repair any damage to the bones or soft tissue in the hip.

You will receive a local anesthetic on the side of your hip to numb the area during the procedure or general anesthesia to put you to sleep during the procedure. Most arthroscopic procedures take about 90 minutes, but the length of surgery will vary depending on the circumstances and individual needs.

Three ways to detect hip fractures :

Inability to stand on the leg that is in pain.

Severe pain and inability to move the affected hip.

Noticing that the length of the affected leg is shorter than the length of the healthy leg.

What are the differences between hip arthroscopy and total hip replacement ?

Hip arthroscopy is a much less invasive procedure than total hip replacement. For many people, hip arthroscopy will resolve any problems in the hip that are causing pain or mobility problems. If hip arthroscopy is not successful or the symptoms are severe enough, a surgeon may recommend total hip replacement. People with significant cartilage damage or severe arthritis often need total hip replacement.
