Total Hip Replacement B/L Cost in Noida

Total hip replacement surgery also called total hip arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure conducted to replace the damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial joint or prosthesis. The hip prosthesis contains the following three components:

• A stem, which fits into the thigh bone
• A ball that fits into the stem
• A cup which is inserted into the socket of the hip joint

The two types of prostheses used in total hip replacement surgery include a.) cemented and b.) uncemented prostheses. A combination of both is sometimes used during the surgery, depending on the recommendation made by the patient.

Hip joint surgery is conducted in patients when other non-surgical and surgical alternatives fail to work and relieve the patient of terrible hip pain. A successful hip joint surgery ensures increased mobility, improved function of the hip joint, and pain-free movement.

Two types of total hip replacement surgery differ based on whether a single or both hip joints are replaced. Total hip replacement bilateral refers to the replacement of joints on both sides of the hips. This procedure is conducted when both sides are affected.

The following are the conditions that require hip replacement surgery:

• Osteoarthritis: Commonly called wear-and-tear arthritis, it gradually damages the slick cartilage that covers the ends of bones and helps joints move smoothly.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: It is triggered by an overactive immune system, including inflammation that can erode cartilage and, at times the underlying bone, resulting in damaged and deformed joints.
• Osteonecrosis: This condition occurs by the insufficient blood supply to the ball portion of the hip joint, and might result from dislocation or fracture that leads to deformities.
