Total Hip Replacement
If you have severe arthritis of the hip causing pain and limitation of your activities and lifestyle, and have not responded to conservative treatments you may be a candidate for total hip replacement.
Total hip replacement was first performed in 1960 and modern hip replacement is one of the most successful operations in the history of surgery. Hip replacement replaces a painful arthritic hip with a functional pain free joint that allows patients to resume normal activities.
Total hip replacement has been described by the prestigious medical journal The Lancet as the “operation of the century” because of its tremendous success in improving the lives of patients with disabling hip arthritis
Total Hip Replacement replaces the worn out ball and socket joint with new durable implants.
About Hip Replacement Implants
There are many different types of artificial joints available, all made from different materials and offering different bearing surfaces.
1. Types of Hip Replacement Surgery
The ideal approach to the hip depends on the individual patient’s anatomy. Surgical approaches can include:
-
Anterior Hip Replacement
-
Dual Mobility Hip Replacement
-
Partial Hip Replacement surgery
-
Hip Resurfacing
2. My Hip Surgery Recommendation
Varies from patient to patient depending on the specific anatomy and other factors
My aim is to return patients to their previous activity level with a fully functioning pain free hip joint.
This includes a return to high impact and velocity sports, e.g. running, skiing, tennis.
Every week I receive letters from patients who are thrilled with their new hip, many of which include pictures from patients who have returned to vigorous sporting activities such as skiing, running, tennis and hiking. Check out the Google reviews for more details.
3.Superpath Approach vs Dual Mobility
The Superpath technique is simply another approach to the hip, although the surgery is much more complicated and potentially time consuming.
The stated advantages are better hip joint stability with a lower risk of dislocation. As the Dual Mobility hip is a very stable joint that is highly unlikely to dislocate, it does not need to be inserted through a Superpath approach.
