Get Back to Track with Hip joint Replacement in Indore

In this modern age of sophisticated orthopedic medicine patients with severe hip arthritis no longer need to spend decades with unbearable pain. In hip joint replacement in Indore surgeons remove defective parts of the joint and replace them with prosthetic components to stabilize and reinforce the hip-and, most importantly, minimize the pain of the patient.

Below we have dealt with some of the most frequently asked questions about this subject.

Is my post-operative pain going to be unbearable?

No, not at all! You will surely have some amount of pain from such a major surgery. You will also benefit from the relief of the continuous, nagging hip pain that you came in with. However, your specific and temporary post-surgery pain will be manageable. You can expect the most noticeable pain from surgery for first couple of days but eventually it starts dissipating.

After my operation, what kind of medication can I take to relieve pain?

After the operation is completed impacts of spinal anesthesia from surgery will remain with you for several hours. Once that has gone off, intravenous pain medicine may be provided to you, although, you will experience a mild pain that can be readily treated with conventional oral drug. In that case, the scheduled dose will be taken by mouth and a short-term supply of the medication will be prescribed for your home recovery as well. Your doctor will recognize how to review which sort of medication works best for you, how long and how much you should take it.

What about the sutures?

Your sutures will be removed after 2 weeks from the date of the surgery and Steri-Strips will be applied to complete the healing cycle. Eventually, the strips will wash away by themselves, so you don't need to visit your surgeon to get them removed.

What to expect after surgery?

After surgery, feeling of numbness around the incision site is normal. You will often experience swelling in your legs (this could be from your hip down to your knee). Even if the swelling persists for up to six months, you should not be alarmed! This is a standard facet of the process of recovery. By raising your leg and applying ice, you can minimize swelling.

How active do I have to be?

Your surgeon will provide you guidelines describing the steps to be taken to safeguard your new hip. However, being active is very helpful as using your hip for the new joint is ultimately like doing physical therapy.

Thus, with group of best hip replacement surgeons in Indore, one needs no to worry about hip pain anymore. With periodic medication, comprehensive surgical procedures and rehabilitation joint replacement issues can be dealt hassle free.

Say good bye to your hip pain!!

Types of Total Knee Implants

Total implants for replacing the knee are not one-size-fits-all or even one-style-fits-all. The design, fixation and materials of prothetic implants vary greatly. Your implant may be a fixed implant or a mobile implant; a PCL-retaining design or a PCL-replacement style. It can be fixed with bone cement or a cement less fixing design. Ultimately, your surgeon will choose the implant based on your physical situation, your age and lifestyle, the experience of the surgeon and the level of familiarity and confidence he or she has with a particular piece of equipment and/or manufacturer.

While the overall design of total knee implants varies, as discussed below, there are three basic components of typical total knee replacement implants: femoral, tibial and patellar.

Generally, the femoral component is made of metal and curves around the femur's end (your thighbone). This part of the implant has a groove down the center allowing the patella (kneecap) to move up and down as the knee bends and straightens.

The tibial component is a platform of flat metal with an insert or spacer of polyethylene (plastic). Depending on the type of surgery performed, this component varies in structure.

The patellar implant is a polyethylene dome-shaped piece that imitates the kneecap. Some knee replacements use this implant; not others.

Fixed bearing implants:

A fixed-bearing implant is the most common knee replacement implant. It is called "fixed" because the tibial component's polyethylene cushion is firmly attached to the base of the metal platform. This cushion then rolls over the femoral component. For most patients, the fixed-bearing prostheses provide a good range of movement and as long-lasting as other implants. In some cases, excessive activity and/or extra weight may lead to faster wear-down of a fixed-bearing prosthesis. This wear may cause implant loosening, causing pain and failure of the joint–although this is not common.

Mobile bearing implants:

Your doctor may recommend a rotating platform / mobile-bearing knee replacement if you are younger, more active, and/or overweight. These implants are designed with less wear for possibly longer performance. There is a difference in the bearing surface between a fixed-bearing implant and a medial-pivot implant. The same three components are used for fixed-bearing implants and mobile-bearing implants. However, the insert of polyethylene in the tibial component can rotate short distances within the metal tibial tray in a mobile-bearing knee.

Medial pivot implants:

The Medial-Pivot knee replicates your natural knee's rotation, twisting, bending, bending, bending, and stability, so it feels more like your natural knee. In fact, a normal knee pivots on its condyle medial (inner side). The lateral (outer) side rolls back when the knee flexes while the medial side rotates in one place. In contrast to sliding slightly forward, this design "stays put" or is more stable during normal knee movement. However, Mobile-Bearing knee implants are less forgiving of soft tissue imbalance compared to Fixed-Bearing designs. They can cost more than implants with Fixed-Bearing.

The good news is that your surgeon will decide which implant to use, but talk to him about which implant works best for your body and lifestyle. Although the decision ultimately belongs to your surgeon, in order to understand the recommendations made and the reasons for your recovery and discharge instructions, you are well-advised to have a working understanding of the different options.
