Total Hip Joint Replacement







Hip joint replacement is surgery to replace all or part of the hip joint with a man-made joint. The artificial joint is called a prosthesis. Your hip joint is made up of two major parts. One or both parts may be replaced during surgery: • The hip socket (a part of the pelvic bone called the acetabulum) • The upper end of the thighbone (called the femoral head)

Procedure for Total Hip Joint Replacement

The new hip that replaces the old one is made up of these parts: • A socket, which is usually made of strong metal. • A liner, which fits inside the socket. It is usually plastic, but some surgeons are now trying other materials, like ceramic. The liner allows the hip to move smoothly. • A metal or ceramic ball that will replace the round head (top) of your thigh bone. • A metal stem that is attached to the thigh bone to make the joint more stable. • Cut and remove the head of your thigh bone • Clean out your hip socket and remove the rest of the cartilage and damaged or arthritic bone • Put the new hip socket in place, then insert the metal stem into your thigh bone

The Aging Process

As a person ages, the skin loses some of its natural elasticity and the muscles gradually weaken. The aging process often has a pronounced impact on the abdominal region, resulting in a flabby, sagging midsection. For some, the loss of definition in the stomach area is a source of self-consciousness, as they begin to appear older and less fit than they feel. In such cases, a tummy tuck can have a rejuvenating effect on the entire body.

Genetics

The overall shape of one's body and the areas where pockets of fat tend to accumulate are largely determined by genetics. For some people, the bothersome flab that gathers in the abdominal region may not be reflective of their true level of activity and fitness. Even a person in his or her 20s, 30s, or 40s may be genetically predisposed to stubborn abdominal roundness; fortunately, plastic surgery can address this.

Traditional Tummy Tucks

Traditional tummy tucks are the most commonly performed type of tummy tuck surgery. They involve the creation of a hip-to-hip incision, as well as incisions around the belly button. Because they address the patient's entire abdominal area, they often involve moving the belly button to ensure natural looking results. Traditional tummy tucks are commonly combined with abdominal liposuction.

Mini Tummy Tucks

Mini tummy tucks (also called partial abdominoplasties) are intended for patients who are within 10 percent of their ideal body weight and are content with making alterations only to the part of the abdomen that is below the navel. Mini tummy tucks require only a single small incision. They usually do not involve repositioning the navel. Partial abdominoplasties result in less dramatic changes to the appearance of the abdomen.
