Risk-Free What you need to know about Hip Replacement in Central
Before getting Hip Replacement surgery, you might feel pain and inflammation in your joint, your mobility might be decreased and you might experience difficulty in walking because your joint aches. After the surgery, you would feel relief from pain and inflammation. Your movements will be smooth and frictionless.
Hip Replacement or arthroplasty is the surgical removal of a damaged hip joint and replaced by an artificial one. The hip prosthesis is implanted in place of the original hip joint. It is made up of metallic and plastic parts. Surgery can be of two types:
- Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) -Â involves the removal of both the acetabulum and head of the femur.
- Partial or Hemi Hip Replacement -Â only the head of the femur is replaced.
It is usually performed on those with chronic hip pain, often associated with old age, but can also be performed in cases of severe accidents, bone fractures, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone tumors, avascular necrosis, and other bone abnormalities.
What's the Recovery Time for Hip Replacement Procedures in Central?
Again, the recovery time depends upon your natural healing capacity and will power. Stitches are removed 2 weeks after the surgery. On average, 6 to 12 weeks are needed for complete recovery. Healing time varies in accordance with the type of surgery. In the case of minimally invasive surgery, you might be able to walk on the same day with the help of your medical staff. You can continue to drive 6 weeks after the operation.
