Total Hip Replacement
Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial implant. It is a highly effective treatment for relieving pain, improving mobility, and enhancing the overall quality of life for individuals suffering from hip conditions.
Causes:
Common causes leading to the need for a total hip replacement include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fractures, avascular necrosis, and hip dysplasia. These conditions can result in severe pain, stiffness, limited mobility, and decreased functionality.
When to See the Doctor
If you experience persistent hip pain that affects your daily activities, consult with a doctor. They will evaluate your symptoms, conduct physical examinations, and may recommend imaging tests to determine the extent of the hip joint damage. Early diagnosis is crucial for better treatment outcomes.
Treatment and Surgery Options
Initially, non-surgical treatments like medication, physical therapy, and assistive devices may be recommended. However, if these methods fail to provide relief, total hip replacement surgery may be advised. During the procedure, the damaged joint surfaces are removed, and a prosthetic implant is inserted to restore joint function.
