Hip Resurfacing Worldwide

Hip resurfacing or surface replacement arthroplasty is a safer alternative to total hip replacement (THR) surgery. It is a bone conserving procedure that places a metal cap on the femoral head instead of amputating it. This is unlike THR in which the complete femoral head and neck are removed, making it difficult for the patient to regain a natural gait after surgery. There is no long stem placed down the femur so it is more like a natural hip and may allow patients a return too many activities, including marathons and triathlons; although patients must have good bone quality to qualify for it.

The healthy human knee joint is lined with articular cartilage: a layer of tissue that provides low-friction and shock-absorbing properties. Arthritis and injury can damage this protective layer of cartilage, causing extreme pain for a patient performing even simple activities. However there are four available treatments for these patients: 1. Total knee replacement 2. Unicompartmental knee replacement 3. Viscosupplementation 4. Autologous chondrocyte implantation The cost, service life, and complications associated with each procedure are different. All these procedural differences and the patients specific situation must be carefully considered when deciding on a particular course of treatment. 

Hip replacements or resurfacing are often needed to improve mobility problems and severe discomfort caused by rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis in the hip joint.

Knee pain is one of the commonest problems that many people face in their day to day lives.Knee replacement surgery is the surgical treatment which is adapted to replace the weight – bearing parts of the knee and its joints. This surgery relieves the pain and disability caused due to osteoarthritis. Knee replacement surgery can be best done by Dr.Raju Easwaran, one of the leading knee specialist in New Delhi.

For some individuals a less invasive alternative to hip replacement is hip resurfacing, where the ball and socket of the hip joint are covered with metal caps, reducing friction and improving movement.

Knee replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, involves replacing the damaged or arthritic knee with an artificial prosthesis. Commonly the knee is damaged from arthritis, resulting in pain and restricted movement. Sufferers may also experience swelling or loosening of the knee joint. A knee replacement aims to treat these symptoms, restoring the knee to its original functionality and relieving any associated pain. The knee joint consists of three bones- the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shinbone) and patella (kneecap). The femur and tibia are connected by tendons and their movement cushioned by cartilage. The patella protects the joint and moves up and down as the leg bends and straightens. Depending on the area of damage patients may require a total knee replacement or a partial knee replacement. A total knee replacement involves replacing both the tibia and femur with an artificial joint and in some cases resurfacing the patella as well. There are two types of partial knee replacement- patellofemoral and medial compartment. A patellofemoral knee replacement involves replacing the damaged knee cap and its surrounding cartilage. More commonly a medial compartment knee replacement is required, replacing only the inside part of the knee. One important benefit of a partial replacement is that it leaves the healthy bone and tissues intact, resulting in a faster recovery time and fewer complications. The disadvantages include a higher risk of revision surgery and sometimes the functionality is not as good as with a total knee replacement. Sometimes where there is damage to only part of the knee an alternative treatment is partial knee resurfacing. This involves resurfacing the damaged part of the joint with metal, leaving the healthy bone and surrounding soft tissues intact.
