The doctor advises a total or partial hip replacement procedure depending on which part of the hip needs replacement. In Total hip replacement, an orthopedist replaces both the ball and socket. In partial hip replacement, the doctor only replaces the ball.
1) Total or partial hip replacement
Not everyone requires total hip replacement. The types of damage and many other factors determine which type of hip replacement will work best for your condition. Elite Orthocare and Multispecialty is one of the best hospitals in Bangalore, offering all types of hip replacement surgery at affordable costs. People from all over the world prefer to visit our hospital to get their Hip joints fixed.
2) Anterior, Posterior, and Lateral Hip replacement
The orthopedic surgeon will decide which type of hip replacement needs to be performed based on the approach. There are 3 ways usually used by the doctors to access the hip joints :
- Front or anterior approach
- Side or Lateral approach
- Back or Posterior
3) Traditional and Minimal hip replacement
The size of the incision decides which surgery will be the best. In a minimally invasive hip replacement, surgery leaves a minimum impact on the nearby tissues and blood vessels. At Elite Orthocare and Multispecialty, Dr. Abhinandan S. Punit uses minimally invasive surgery to access the hip joint. Our team of well-versed doctors discusses the best approach for your hip replacement surgery. During the minimally invasive hip replacement surgery, the doctor makes only 1 or 2 small incisions, which reduces muscle damage, less pain, facilitates faster recovery, and requires a short hospital stay. However, the minimally invasive approach depends on age, fitness level, and other factors.
In traditional hip replacement surgery, doctors make a single large incision through a lateral or posterior approach. This process requires a longer recovery time and causes damage to muscles and tissues.
Elite Orthocare and Multispecialty provides patient-centric care, and doctors discuss the procedure with the patient before surgery. You will get your hip health and mental satisfaction simultaneously at Elite Orthocare and Multispecialty.
