Key Consideration For Picking Suitable Hip Implants
Hip prosthesis is a crucial
surgery that replaces injured hip bones with an artificial hip implants for
better movements and relief from pain. Some hip injuries are so severe that the
surgeon opts for hip replacements as the only treatment.
As a patient, you must first have a detailed
consultation with your hip prosthesis surgeon. Ask all the right questions
about your hip injury and the options left before the surgeon. Know about the
surgery options and implants. If the surgeon advises to go for hip prosthesis,
then find out which implants will be suitable. Remember that not all the hip
implants are made equally for all the patients.
Material of hip implants matters
Orthopedic
implants manufacturers make hip implants in various materials. You must acquire some knowledge of it. For
example, the stem part of the hip implants are generally is made in titanium.
Titanium is an alloy of cobalt and chromium. These implants usually have porous
surface to make the light in weight. Many shapes of these implants are
available to the surgeons for a proper growth of the injured hip bones.
The other part of hips called the acetabular
socket is generally made of polyethylene. Other such sockets are made of
polyethylene with some metal support. Your surgeon will select a perfect
implant based on your hip injury, age, and other circumstances.
Note that surgeons generally prefer the
implants that they have confidence in and have years of experience in handling
those devices. So, find out which hip implant your surgeon would like to use in
your case.
Which is the more
suitable implant?
The first assessment the surgeon will make is
how serious your hip bone injury is. Your age, weight, gender, lifestyle, and
body stature will play a key role in determining an implant for your surgery
needs. Most importantly, cartilage degeneration of the joints will also be
assessed before choosing a right implant.
To find out which hip
prosthesis devices will suit the patient best, a surgeon takes many aspects into
consideration. The surgeon may like to
use tested implants for a safe surgery. Some surgeons like to choose an implant
based on a particular patient’s specific conditions. Others generally like to
use the same type of implants that they have been using so far.
However, success of hip prosthesis surgery
depends a lot on the surgeon’s own experience. So, find out an experienced
surgeon.

surgeons from Indian manufacturers.
