The hip replacement surgery<\/strong> procedure to relieve pain until complete recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>If the hip is damaged by osteoarthritis, a fracture or other conditions, daily activities such as walking, driving, and climbing stairs become painful and complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to stiffness even dressing, putting on shoes, and having sex can become difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might also experience discomfort and pain during rest and at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If medications, changes in daily activities and the use of aids such as canes or crutches do not adequately relieve these symptoms, it may be time to discuss the possibility of a hip replacement surgery with your orthopedic specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very important, during this process, to identify all risk factors and potential benefits of the surgery, which, considering the severity of the condition, the patient’s age, and psycho-physical characteristics, are the basis for making the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation allows you to relieve pain until it disappears completely, improve movement, and return to normal daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a safe and effective procedure, a great success in surgery, that enables you to regain your quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the latest generation of smaller prostheses <\/strong>made from advanced biocompatible materials, minimally invasive surgery is possible, which speeds up recovery times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>What is a hip prosthesis composed of?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The prosthesis is not the same for everyone but is customized: the choice depends primarily on the patient’s characteristics, needs, and gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a 75-year-old woman weighing 50 kgs will have different requirements than a 40-year-old man weighing 95 kgs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bone quality influences the choice of the implant; in a young man with hard bone small press-fit prostheses can be used, while in cases of severe osteoporosis it is more appropriate to use cement to fix the implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have different joint geometries that need to be studied and understood in order to choose the prosthesis model that best suits and reconstructs them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hip prosthesis<\/strong> is composed of three elements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
