Things nobody told you about Total Hip Replacement Surgery
In earlier days, hip replacement surgeries were performed for hours, and the hospital stay spanned almost 3 weeks. But now, thanks to modern science for minimal invasive joint replacement surgery, there is lesser pain, lesser blood loss, quicker recovery time, and more benefits.
Joint Replacement Surgeries Have Become More Effective and Safer Than Ever.
- Hip replacement can not only fix osteoarthritis but a range of issues like severe hip damage due to obesity, sports injury, a fracture, and hip problems from strenuous occupation. This procedure is quite popular among baby boomers as hip replacement means a new beginning for chronic pain
- Even materials are advancing, so no later surgery is required to replace prostheses. Metal alloys like cobalt chromium, titanium even ceramic though a little expensive, have become the go-to option for those choosing durability and good life quality.
- Robotic surgery offers a superb high definition view of the surgical area. The better the surgeon sees the better the outcomes are. The precision and clarity offered by the technologies in modern hip replacement surgeries eliminates the scope for nerve damage and other injuries during surgery.
Total Hip Replacement Surgery Is More Common in Women Than Men.
Calcium deficiency is the major cause that threatens women with the requirement of hip replacement surgery. As the bones wear out (osteoporosis), the friction in hip can lead to unbearable chronic pain. Movements become restricted. But hip replacement offers long lasting relief.
Losing Some Weight Before Total Hip Replacement Surgery Is Recommended.
The idea is to reduce excessive pressure on the legs post-surgery, especially for those who suffer from obesity. In addition, if mobility is an issue, recovery from hip replacement surgery will take a long time. So, surgeons motivate patients to shed excess fat to avoid post-procedure complications.
To Properly Heal, Physiotherapy Is a Must!
Physiotherapy aids proper blood circulation and prevents blood clots while the joints heal. Therefore before deciding on total hip replacement surgery, it is best to discuss the physiotherapy plans with the caregiver. Unlike the common belief that physiotherapy focuses on physical healing, it also helps reduce anxiety and improves the confidence of an individual who has received hip replacement surgery.
