When it comes to hip replacement surgery, Dr. Sanjay J. offers a cutting-edge solution with the dual mobility hip replacement. This advanced procedure is designed to provide patients with greater stability, reduced risk of dislocation, and an extended range of motion—making it particularly beneficial for active individuals or those at higher risk of hip dislocation.

What is Dual Mobility Hip Replacement?

Dual mobility hip replacement is an innovative approach that combines the benefits of traditional hip replacement with added stability features. Unlike standard hip implants, which involve a single articulation between the ball and the socket, dual mobility implants include an additional layer of articulation. This means there is a small ball inside a larger ball, both of which move independently within the socket. The result is a more stable joint with a significantly reduced risk of dislocation.

Know everything about Hip Replacement Surgeons

Hip Replacement in India is also called with some other names like Hip Arthroplasty, Hip Hemiarthroplasty, and Total Hip Replacement. It falls under the orthopedic care procedure. This procedure involves removing the damaged femur and replacing the ball-and-socket component of the hip with artificial implants. It can be cured with two things, one is medicine and another is surgery. Mostly in case of severe pain, surgery is the solution.

 Hip Replacement is about 40 years plus old procedure and there has been a complete transition or paradigm shift now from implant to the technique to the surgeon experience and also the patient profile. If we talk about changes, there's a lot of better changes in last 40 years like you have a better quality of implant where you can have a better function, you can have a better material or the articular surface in the joint surface area where the joint can last for a long time, you have new technology and you can take its assistance into the surgery. 

 The hip replacement procedure these days have become a painless procedure, in the past few years, patients have gain better confidence as there is no pain and it has increased the number of patients for the surgery as they are getting better results. Earlier there was non-availability of different kinds of implants but now there are many multinational companies in India that are producing different types of implants. Earlier the awareness amongst the patients was also not that high but now everything is changed because of the great results which many surgeons and hospitals are producing. With the changes in procedures, it is seen that patients are getting an excellent result and their quality of life is improving after the surgery. So, with so many things combined again it has increased the volume of the number of patients who come for the surgery.

 In India, some of its best surgeons reside in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune. Some of the Best Hospitals of these cities with the help of these surgeons have also installed the latest technology and infrastructure to provide smooth treatment to their patients. Surgeons here are also members of many Health-related Associations of the world. They have also won many awards in their field. Some of the Best Hip Replacement Surgeon in Mumbai have completed their studies and training abroad and so due to this also they have expertise in joint replacement surgeries. Find here the hip replacement surgeons who have experience of many years and are doing great in their field. One of the surgeons Dr. Pradeep Bhosale has developed a dual Hip surgical approach for difficult situations and has also performed 9000+ Joint Replacement Surgeries.

These surgeries are not like just doing surgery by a surgeon instead there's a team of physiotherapists, nurses, anesthetists, and dietitians involved to take care of the patients and to keep a holistic approach towards the patients' care or well-being where the patient gets complete satisfaction and excellent results.  

Any patient who is a 70 years of age for the hip fracture he would undergo something called a bipolar hip replacement surgery or hemiarthroplasty where he can do mobile immediately but any patient who is 40 years of age he would require a joint which is going to last for at least 20 to 25 years. So, in this case, surgeons probably use something called the ceramic and ceramic unsymmetrical joint. Depending on the different factors, the choice of procedure is decided, and also the choice of the implant varies. The robotic surgery is a new thing in joint replacement surgery and is still evolving. The only difference between computer navigation and robotics is that the latter one is a more precise method of doing it some robotic surgeries are a very costly affair. 

Surgeons plan to bring patients to real expectations, their expectations, and our quality care results should match. For the Hip replacement, surgeons have started doing a direct anterior approach to the hip where the muscles are not cut so that the patients can walk the same day without any support so that they recover quickly and can go back home. So yes this is going to be a game-changer in the joint replacement surgery.

Hip Joint Replacement Surgeon in Hyderabad

The hip joint is the largest ball-and-socket synovial joint in our body and also one of the largest weight-bearing joints of the body. This ball-and-socket joint helps you move your legs during everyday activities such as walking and climbing up and down the stairs. The hip joint consists of two main parts: Femoral head and Acetabulum.

Femoral Head: It is the ball of the joint or the ball-shaped piece of bone at the top of the femur.

It is almost spherical in shape and surrounded by articular cartilage all around. The femoral head size may range from 40 to 60 mm in diameter and varies with body mass. The thickness of the articular cartilage is about 4 mm superiorly and tapers to 3 mm at the periphery.

Acetabulum: Acetabulum is a socket (concave depression) on the lower side of the pelvis where the femoral head fits into the acetabulum to form the hip joint. The ball is connected to the socket with bands of tissue called ligaments, which help in stabilizing the hip.

The femur is the longest and heaviest bone in the human body. It consists of a Proximal end, Shaft, Distal end. The socket of the hip joint called acetabulum is formed from parts of the ilium, ischium, and pubis.

Underlying Causes of Hip Joint Pain:

Hip joint pain is sore and most common in middle-aged women, however, the younger people are no exception to it and are equally affected these days. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are among the most common causes of hip pain, especially in older adults aged 55 and above.

What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic (long-lasting) joint condition that affects your joints. It is one of the most common forms of arthritis that causes the joints to become painful and stiff and can affect your ability to walk. Also called as a degenerative joint disease, degenerative arthritis, and wear-and-tear arthritis, OA occurs most often in older people. It can occur in adults of any age as well.

Causes

The root cause of OA stems from the wearing down of cartilage. Age is also one of the main causes of the joint damage and women are more likely to develop Osteoarthritis.

Torn cartilage

Dislocated joints

Ligament injuries

What is Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically removes a painful hip joint with arthritis and replaces it with an artificial joint often made from metal and plastic components. It is usually done when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate pain relief. The procedure should relieve a painful hip joint, making walking easier.

The doctor removes the ball portion of the joint by cutting the thigh bone with a saw. Then an artificial joint is attached to the thigh bone using either cement or a special material that allows the remaining bone to attach to the new joint.

Guidelines for Patients Undergoing a Total Hip Replacement

Now that you’ve made a big decision to get your total hip replaced, emphasize on preparing for a hip replacement. Because a right preparation can bring in the major difference for a speedy recovery. All you have to do is:

Pre-Admission Testing – Complete a physical exam and tests like Chest X-ray, EKG, to rule out any health conditions that might interfere with the procedure.

Evaluation by an anesthesiologist to choose the option of an epidural or spinal injection to block pain.

Two to four-hour surgery depending on the severity of arthritis or the condition of your hip.

Blood Clots

Infection

Leg Length Inequality

Loosening

Ongoing Discomfort

Possible Complications of Hip Replacement Surgery

Like any other major surgery, hip replacement has its own set of complications some of which may be life-threatening too. Though the risk of complications is low, here are the possible complications that a patient might experience after surgery.

However, with the advanced technology now available, a dual mobility socket is used to manage total hip Arthroplasty instability. Hip implant with dual mobility is considered a high-performance hip replacement implantation done so far.
