ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERIES
Throughout our life the body ( also the bones with joints )
is in use for about 16 hours a day - for decades.
After a time ( mostly over age 50 but nowadays even earlier )
this usage ends up in bonewear: the most affected areas are
the knee, the hip and the shoulder.

HIP REPLACEMENT
Hip replacement surgery involves replacing components of the hip joint with a synthetic implant, to repair the damaged bearing surfaces that are causing pain.
In a hip replacement both the thigh bone ( femur ) and the socket are replaced with synthetic implants.
The design of the implant offers you renewed stability and function. Hip replacement can relieve pain, help your hip joint work better, and restore normal walking and other movements.
Hip replacement surgery has a very high success rate, and can offer an incredible quality of life improvement to patients.
Your doctor may recommend it if you have hip damage and pain that physical therapy, medicines, and exercise don’t help.
Hip replacement surgery is performed over 300,000 times each year in the U.S. to repair severe hip damage.
In a hip replacement, the surgeon removes degenerate cartilage and bone from the hip joint and replaces them with prosthetics. This surgery is used to accomplish long-term pain relief and increased mobility.

When are you in need of surgery?
If there is pain in the hip and lack of ability to move during everyday activities. These can damage the quality of life.
Surgery is proposed when other methods - resting, medication, physiotherapy - are not effective.
Before surgery, a total medical examination and x-ray image is required to clarify the reason that causes the problem, and to choose the right type of prosthesis.
The day after the surgery, the patient can get up and make his/her first steps with the help of walking aid ( eg. frame, elbow crutches ).
During the hospital treatment, a physiotherapist helps to learn important activities such as sitting up, getting up, walking on stairs, personal hygiene, usage of walking aids. The average stay in hospital is about 8-10 days.
Total recovery: 3 to 6 months is required. However, light physical activity can be done about 2 months after the operation.
After total recovery, there are no limitations in everyday activities, even light sport activities can be practised.
The prostheses can be used for 20 years in average. After this period, worn or loose parts can be replaced by another surgery.
