Hip Replacements
Best Hip Replacement Surgeon Dr. Shiva Reddy
Hip pain and immobility caused by arthritis, injury, or degenerative conditions can significantly reduce the quality of life. Hip replacement surgery offers a long-lasting solution to alleviate pain and restore normal function in the hip joint. Dr. Shiva Reddy, a renowned orthopedic surgeon in Bangalore, specializes in hip replacement procedures, helping patients regain mobility and lead pain-free lives. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the types of hip replacement surgeries performed by Dr. Reddy and explain why his expertise ensures the best outcomes for patients.
Understanding Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement surgery, or hip arthroplasty, is a procedure where damaged or worn-out parts of the hip joint are replaced with prosthetic components made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. The surgery is primarily performed to relieve pain and improve mobility in individuals suffering from arthritis, fractures, or other hip joint conditions.
There are two main types of hip replacement surgeries offered by Dr. Shiva Reddy:
- Primary Total Hip Replacements
- Revision Total Hip Replacements
Each type of surgery has specific indications and advantages. Let’s explore both in detail.
1. Primary Total Hip Replacements
Primary Total Hip Replacement, also called Total Hip Arthroplasty, is one of the most common procedures for patients suffering from severe hip joint damage. During this surgery, the damaged ball-and-socket parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components, restoring smooth, pain-free movement.
Who Needs a Primary Total Hip Replacement?
This surgery is typically recommended for patients who have:
- Severe osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis affecting the hip
- Hip fractures that cannot be treated with other methods
- Hip joint deformities caused by congenital or developmental conditions
- Chronic hip pain that limits daily activities and mobility
Benefits of Primary Total Hip Replacements:
- Significant reduction in pain and stiffness
- Improved mobility and range of motion
- Long-lasting artificial hip joint with proper care
- Increased ability to perform daily activities and enjoy an active lifestyle
Dr. Shiva Reddy is highly skilled in performing primary total hip replacements using minimally invasive techniques, which reduce the recovery time and improve overall outcomes. His personalized approach ensures that each patient receives the best possible treatment based on their unique medical condition.
2. Revision Total Hip Replacements
A Revision Total Hip Replacement is a more complex surgery performed on patients who have already undergone a hip replacement but experience complications or wear and tear in their existing prosthesis. This surgery involves removing the old prosthesis and replacing it with new, more durable components.
When is Revision Hip Replacement Necessary?
There are several reasons why a previously replaced hip joint might require revision surgery:
- Implant wear and tear: Over time, the components of a hip replacement can wear out, causing pain and reduced mobility.
- Implant loosening or dislocation: Implants may become loose or dislocate, leading to discomfort and instability in the hip.
- Infection: In rare cases, infections can develop around the artificial joint, necessitating revision surgery.
- Fractures: Fractures around the implant site may require revision surgery to ensure proper healing and joint stability.
Advantages of Revision Total Hip Replacements:
- Corrects complications and restores function after a failed initial surgery
- Provides a stable and long-lasting hip joint with advanced prostheses
- Reduces pain and allows patients to regain mobility
Dr. Shiva Reddy’s expertise in complex revision surgeries ensures that patients facing issues with their previous hip replacements can experience relief and improved functionality. Revision surgery demands precision and careful planning, and Dr. Reddy is well-equipped to handle the most challenging cases.
