What is pelvic and hip replacement surgery?

Pelvic and hip replacement is one of the most successful surgeries in humans. By replacing the pelvic joint, the patient is relieved of chronic pain that has long hindered normal physical activity.

In pelvic joint replacement surgery, the damaged hip joint in the pelvic area is replaced with an artificial joint. But who needs pelvic arthroplasty and who can be helped?

 

Who needs pelvic and hip replacement surgery?

The hip joint can be severely damaged for a variety of reasons, the most common of which are:

 

When the hip joint is worn and suffers from osteoarthritis and damage

Bad pelvic and acetabular fractures

Vascular necrosis and femoral head failure due to lack of blood supply

Involvement of the hip joint due to rheumatism

When the hip joint has a congenital dislocation and is damaged due to it

 

How is hip and hip replacement surgery performed?

In pelvic joint replacement surgery, the surgeon removes the damaged femoral head from the patient's body and replaces it with a metal sphere.

The metal head is attached to the rest of the femur with an appendage called a stem, which is attached to the metal head, and the surgeon inserts the handle into the central canal of the femur to secure the prosthesis in place.

The orthopedic surgeon then scrapes the inner surface of the damaged acetabular cavity in the pelvis with special tools. By doing this, the damaged cartilage and extra bones come out of the acetabular cavity and the cavity becomes a complete hemisphere.

Then a hemispherical metal bowl is placed inside the prepared cavity and a plastic bowl made of polyethylene is placed inside it.

In some cases, a plastic bowl without a metal bowl may be glued into the acetabular cavity with only a special adhesive. This adhesive is called bone cement.

The metal head is placed inside a plastic bowl so that it can move in different directions inside.

 

Is pelvic and hip replacement surgery once and for all?

Just as the natural human joint has no eternal life, so does the artificial pelvic joint. These artificial joints may loosen inside the bone after a while.

They may corrode or the bones of the body may be eaten around them. How long this happens after pelvic joint replacement surgery is not the same in all patients.

In most surgeries, the artificial pelvic joint works for the rest of his life, and pelvic replacement surgery is performed only once in his entire life.

However, in some patients, it may be necessary to replace the prosthesis once or even more than once.

Artificial pelvic joints usually last more than 25-20 years if placed properly, but this period can be longer or sometimes less.

 

What is the use of pelvic joint replacement?

Patients who decide to have hip replacement surgery are mostly those who have pain in this area due to a damaged hip joint. This pain prevents the patient from doing daily tasks and deprives the patient of the pleasure of a good and healthy life. Before pelvic arthroplasty, many patients ask themselves what this type of surgery can help me with, and what changes will occur in my life after surgery.

 

Pelvic joint replacement surgery can affect the following problems:

Hip pain When the hip joint is damaged in the pelvic area, the patient experiences pain in this joint. Due to the wear of the uneven surfaces of the femoral head and the acetabular cavity, the pain sensation terminals in the joint are stimulated and the patient feels pain. This pain sensation causes the patient to try not to move his hip too much because any movement in the joint intensifies the pain. Increasing.

Gradually, the patient's daily activities become more limited and the patient is deprived of a healthy and happy life due to this pain. This pain also causes lameness. The reason is that the patient tries to put less pressure on the painful limb while walking and as a result can not walk well. That is, he limps while walking.

Hip pain disappears completely or largely after pelvic joint replacement. The reason it is said to be "largely gone" is that some patients with hip damage have other problems.

For example, some of these patients also have spinal canal stenosis or lumbar disc herniation, and these problems can make pelvic pain worse.

After pelvic joint replacement surgery, the pain caused by hip wear disappears completely, but the pain felt due to spinal stenosis or intervertebral disc herniation in the pelvis remains unchanged. So before each operation Pelvic joint replacement surgery must determine the source of the pain properly.

 

Restriction of movement in the joint Damage to the hip joint in the pelvic region restricts the movements of this joint. The head of the femur can no longer move easily inside the acetabular cavity. However, some of this movement restriction is due to the stiffness and inflexibility of the ligaments and tendons around the hip joint.

After pelvic joint replacement surgery, because the femoral head and acetabulum are both changed, joint movement is easy.

Of course, sometimes due to severe changes in the pelvic bones and in the biomechanics of the hip joint, and due to severe shortening of the ligaments and tendons around the joint, this restriction of movement may not be completely removed after surgery, but it can be said that It improves a lot.

 

Short limbs are short due to destruction of the femoral head and reduced femoral head height in these patients. In some cases, this shortcoming is due to the displacement of the femoral head upwards. This shortcoming can cause the patient to limp. By replacing the pelvic joint, this shortcoming is completely or largely eliminated.

If the shortness is 3-4 cm, it is almost completely cured, but in cases where the shortness is more than that, its complete correction may cause complications such as sciatic nerve injury and paralysis. In these cases, the treating physician has acted with caution. And compensates for the shortness of the limb to an acceptable level.

 

Lameness in the destruction of the patient's hip joint causes lameness while walking. This lameness is caused by pain, limitation of movement and shortness of limbs and weakness of the pelvic muscles.

The first three causes were discussed. In hip destruction, the patient has not been able to walk well for years due to pain, which results in weakening of the pelvic muscles.

Weakness of the pelvic muscles causes the patient to not be able to walk well, in other words, he suffers from lameness while walking.

Pelvic joint replacement alone can not strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, but as the pain goes away, the patient can perform certain exercises after surgery under the supervision of the treating physician, thereby strengthening the weakened muscles. Strengthening these muscles can improve or completely eliminate the patient's lameness.
