Understanding Medical Problems Related to Hips

Hips are a crucial part of our bodies. They give us stability and support during walking, running and standing, give our bodies mobility, they absorb impact during movements and protect the spine, bear the upper body weight and contribute to overall balance. There are multiple reasons for hip failure and we are going to list the most common ones:

 

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis - autoimmune disease which causes inflammation of the membrane around the joint

  • Osteoarthritis - disease which cushions the bones and makes them wear away

  • Fracture - caused by falls or accidents

  • Avascular Necrosis - disease which disrupts the blood flow to the hip area, making the bone tissue weak or dead

  • Hip Bone Tumor - affecting the hip joint itself or the tissue around it

Types of Hip Bone Surgery: Exploring Surgical Options

There are multiple types of hip surgeries, which are performed depending on the condition, symptoms and patient’s state, age, overall health etc. We are going to list the most common ones:

 

  • Total Hip Replacement - this procedure involves replacing the damaged hip joint with a “new” hip - prosthesis or an artificial implant. This is usually done when there is severe damage to the hips.

  • Hip Resurfacing - this procedure is similar to total hip replacement. The difference is that, instead of replacing the whole joint, the damaged surfaces are capped with metal implants.

  • Hip Arthroscopy - minimally invasive procedure, which uses small incisions and treats labral tears, loose bodies on the joint and so on.

  • Hip Fracture Repair - this procedure repairs the hip bone with screws, rods, plates etc. and restores stability to the joint.

  • Revision Hip Replacement - this procedure is done when the previous hip surgery fails due to various reasons. There could be a need for replacing the artificial hip.

  • Hip Osteotomy - this procedure involves repositioning the bones of the hip in order to relieve the pressure and damages.

The Importance of a Good Surgeon and Clinic

A good and experienced doctor and clinic will stabilize your chances of a successful hip surgery and recovery. It’s important to do your research and consult with experts on this matter. Healing Travel is here to guide you in this process as we’re partners with the best clinics and hospitals in the world.
