Hip ReplacementThe Diseased HipThe most common disease affecting the hip joint is osteoarthritis. This is essentially a wearing away of the articular cartilage, to expose underlying bone. This may come on primarily or secondary to preceding trauma or deformity. Other diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and other inflammatory diseases can also affect the hip. When the articular cartilage is worn, you will experience symptoms of pain in the groin or knee as well as stiffness and restriction of movement.Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery.The most common disease affecting the hip joint is osteoarthritis. This is essentially a wearing away of the articular cartilage, to expose underlying bone. This may come on primarily or secondary to preceding trauma or deformity. Other diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and other inflammatory diseases can also affect the hip. When the articular cartilage is worn, you will experience symptoms of pain in the groin or knee as well as stiffness and restriction of movement.There is less muscle cutting and more muscle splitting in a minimally invasive approach compared with a conventional approach.With a minimally invasive approach there is less blood loss, faster recovery and a more cosmetic scar.What is Hip Replacement?This is a surgical procedure that involves replacing the joint surfaces of the hip. The replacement of the femoral joint surface may involve a prosthesis with a stem that is placed deep in the femur (conventional hip replacement) or sits on its surface (hip resurfacing). The acetabular joint surface is also replaced with these procedures.There are other considerations with Joint Replacement such as what keeps the prosthesis in the bone and what the ball and socket are made of. Prostheses can be fixed on/in the bone with or without cement. The ball and socket can me made up of metal on both sides, metal on the ball side with polyethylene on the socket, ceramic on both sides or ceramic on the ball side and polyethylene on the socket side. Shape and condition of the bone as well as age of the patient will affect these variables.If hip joint is deformed or damaged, it may be a good idea to consider hip replacement surgery.

This involves more splitting and less cutting of the muscles, meaning that there is less blood loss, faster recovery and a more cosmetic scar.You may need to undergo knee surgery for a number of reasons, and so the type of implant or replacement will reflect this.Knee Replacement SurgeryThis is a hinge joint. It is lined by articular cartilage and has two fibro-cartilage structures (menisci) which lead to enhanced stability, transfer of joint forces and nutrition of the joint.
