The Cost Effective Hip Replacement Surgery in India
In today's fast-paced life style, a large number of people are suffering from back pain and total hip replacement surgery is meant to provide maximum relief and comfort to patients suffering from arthritis or any disabling orthopedic hip problem. In comparison with other orthopedic surgeries, this surgery is meant to ensure high success rate. In case of an arthritic hip, the damaged ball (the upper end of the femur) is replaced by a metal or ceramic ball attached to a metal stem fitted into the femur (with or without cement), and a plastic or ceramic socket (fitted into a metal socket) that is implanted into the pelvis, replacing the damaged socket.
By combining metal and plastic, the joint implant surgeon creates a new ball and socket joint which will move smoothly and without causing pain. Over the past two decades, there have been several advancements in hip arthroplasty have taken place and different types of prosthesis are used. The metals used are chrome cobalt alloy and/or titanium alloy. These metals are used only either for aerospace industry or orthopedic applications.
Most of the people choose hip replacement surgery in India due to lower surgery costs and world-class facilities. Toda, the hip replacement surgery in basically divided in two different methods. In case of elder people, it is good to put in and fix the total hip in a softer bone by using bone cement. It results into a very sturdy and reasonable construction. Nowadays, orthopedic surgeons use stainless steel prosthesis into the bone of the upper leg by using a small amount of bone cement which provides immediate stability.
The opposite of the hip bone is shaped and a piece of synthetic material will be fixed with bone cement. This joint is instantly stable. This method is widely recognized and used all over the world for more than 40 years. The life expectancy of prosthesis of this type is a minimum of 10 years, generally 15 years and very often 20 years.
Another system is being used for hip joint replacement surgery in India is done without using bone cement. In this case, surgeons fit titanium trunks into the upper leg bone by precise insertion into the femur. This method of the cementless prosthesis generally takes a couple of weeks until it is fixed to the upper leg bone. Many surgeons recommend the use of crutches for 6-8 weeks.
