Indications for hip arthroplasty.
Major conditions that require surgery and replacement of the joint with a prosthesis include:
- Aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. In this case, the bone does not receive a full blood supply and actually acquires the structure of a sponge, unable to withstand loads.
- Femoral neck fractures. Due to the complexities of the hip joint structure, conservative methods for such injuries are not effective and surgical intervention is required.
- Degenerative-dystrophic diseases such as osteoarthritis and arthritis.
- Congenital dislocation of the hip.
Indications for endoprosthetics can only be given by a qualified orthopedist, taking into account the overall clinical picture, as well as the individual characteristics of the patient.
Examinations before hip replacement.
Preparation for surgical intervention includes:
- counseling and medical examinations;
- lab tests;
- Instrumental examinations of the injured joint, including X-rays, EKG, MRI or CT scan;
- Consultation with additional specialists in the presence of chronic diseases.
The doctor will then choose a specific method of endoprosthesis and prescribe preparation for the surgery.
Options for hip arthroplasty in Israel
If hip replacement is necessary, hip replacements may be used:
- A traditional method that involves removing the head of the femur. The course of the surgery involves placing a metal prosthesis with a small head inside the femur bone. A plastic articular surface is mounted into the pelvic bone. A significant disadvantage of this version of the procedure is the large area of removal, as well as damage to the bone. In addition, the plastic surface can wear off quickly, especially with an active lifestyle.
- The new technique used at MDI Clinic involves grinding the head without removal, followed by the insertion of a hemispherical structure made of metal. Such a prosthesis is more durable. The technique is less traumatic allowing the entire bone to be preserved.
Advantages of contacting MDI Clinic medical center
Specialists of orthopedic surgery of the medical center are highly qualified and have impressive experience in performing endoprosthetics, including hip replacement. The use of modern prostheses and new techniques can reduce traumatism and ensure normal functioning of the artificial joint.
