Hip replacement all included

Preparing for a hip implant placement includes:

• medical examination and history taking;
• x-ray, CT or MRI of the area where the operation will take place;
• laboratory blood tests.

Doctors plan a hip replacement surgery using a 3D imaging system. It allows you to choose the optimal shape, size and position of the implant, taking into account the structural features of the thigh. The course of the procedure depends on the method of its implementation:

Traditional hip replacement

During traditional arthroplasty , doctors place the implant through a 20-25 cm incision.

Benefits: The cost of a traditional hip replacement is lower than other types of hip replacement.

Disadvantages: during such an operation, the doctor can damage more surrounding tissues than with other types of intervention, so recovery takes 2 times longer. Traditional hip replacement leaves a large visible scar.

Minimally invasive hip replacement surgery

With minimally invasive endoprosthetics, the doctor installs the implant through a 5-8 cm incision.

Advantages: during such an intervention, the doctor damages less surrounding tissues than during an open procedure, so the recovery will be less painful. After the operation, a small scar remains.

Disadvantages: The price of minimally invasive hip replacement surgery is higher than traditional open surgery.

AMIS method of hip arthroplasty

During the procedure, the doctor makes an incision in the skin up to 10 cm in front of the thigh, pushes the tissues that surround the joint and installs the prosthesis.

Benefits: AMIS preserves intact muscles and tendons, so recovery is less painful and 2 times faster than after a procedure that requires cutting these tissues.

Disadvantages: not all doctors know this method of arthroplasty.

Robotic Hip Replacement ( MAKOplasty )

During robotic arthroplasty, doctors use the MAKOplasty robot. It allows you to install a hip joint implant with an accuracy of 0.1 mm.

Advantages: due to the high accuracy of the installation of the endoprosthesis, the term of its operation is increased and the risk of postoperative complications is minimized.

Disadvantages: not all clinics are equipped with MAKOplasty robots. The cost of such an operation is higher than other types.

The duration of hip replacement surgery depends on the type of procedure. The average duration of the intervention is 1-2 hours.

The price of hip arthroplasty depends on the selected country and clinic. The table shows the estimated cost of the procedure in different countries of the world:

We have prepared a list of the most common diseases that can damage the hip joint:

• Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease that affects the smooth cartilage that keeps the joint moving smoothly.
• Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that leads to the destruction of joints and surrounding tissues.
• Osteonecrosis is the death of part of a bone and joint that is caused by insufficient blood supply due to a dislocation or fracture.
• Joint dysplasia is a violation of the development of the anatomical shape of the joints, as a result of which they do not properly perform their function.

• Choose a clinic where the procedure is performed by an experienced orthopedist. It is important that he has at least 1,000 hip arthroplasty procedures on his account. Such a doctor will perform the operation with minimal risk of complications.
• When choosing a clinic, pay attention to the method of the operation. It is important that the doctor perform arthroplasty through a 5-8 cm incision. With such an intervention, he will keep the muscles, tendons, blood vessels and nerves intact, so you will recover 2 times faster than after a traditional operation.
• Consider the facilities of the hospital. In international clinics, doctors use a 3D imaging system that allows you to plan the operation taking into account the structure of the hip, choose the optimal shape, size and location of the implant for you.
• Pay attention to the endoprostheses that are used in the clinic. It is important that you install an implant from a world-class manufacturer - DePuy J&J, Zimmer, Biomet. The service life of such endoprostheses exceeds 20 years. They have an extended range, so you will find the right size implant.

Ivan from Ukraine, Helios Krefeld Clinic

I had a t/b joint replacement. The clinic is good, the rooms are comfortable and spacious. I was with my wife, both were satisfied with the accommodation. Professor Kraft operated, it went at the highest level, he was very pleased, there were no complications, the same evening he was put on his feet, on the third day he was already walking along the corridor, on the 5th day he was sent for rehabilitation. healed quickly, the pain from the seam did not really bother, after 3 weeks everything went away. Professor Kraft is very attentive, he came personally, answered questions, told the nuances. The junior staff did not speak English well which caused problems. Rehabilitation is very intensive and sensible. Gymnastics, exercise equipment, massages, walks, procedures - everything is selected individually and contributed to a quick recovery. Thank you Bookimed, everything is organized well, quickly and on time. was very pleased.
