Hip pain can significantly impact your daily life, limiting your mobility and causing discomfort. If you’re struggling with persistent hip pain, hip replacement surgery may be the solution you need. At TOPS Surgical Specialty Hospital, our experienced orthopedic surgeons in our Comprehensive Orthopedic Center use hip replacement techniques with the goal of helping you regain your independence and enjoy life more.
Understanding Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement surgery is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged hip joint with an artificial one. This artificial joint, known as a prosthesis, is composed of metal and durable plastic components. The procedure involves removing the damaged cartilage and bone and replacing them with an artificial joint.
When Is Hip Replacement Surgery Necessary?
Hip replacement surgery is typically recommended for individuals suffering from severe hip pain and limited mobility caused by conditions such as:
Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease that causes cartilage breakdown.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints.
Avascular Necrosis: A condition where bone tissue dies due to lack of blood supply.
Hip Fracture: A break in the hip bone, often caused by falls or accidents.
Hip replacement can offer a new lease on life, allowing individuals to resume normal activities.
Benefits of Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement surgery in Houston offers numerous benefits, including:
Hip replacement surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The procedure involves the following steps:
Incision: The surgeon makes an incision in the hip joint.
Removal of Damaged Tissue: The damaged cartilage and bone are removed from the hip joint.
Implantation of the Prosthesis: The artificial joint components are implanted into the hip joint.
Closure: The incision is closed, and a bandage is applied.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After surgery, you’ll undergo a rehabilitation program to regain strength, flexibility, and mobility. Physical therapy exercises will help you strengthen the muscles around your hip and improve your range of motion. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few months after surgery.
