At Turan & Turan Health Group, we understand that the pain and limitations caused by a damaged hip joint can significantly impact your quality of life. Whether due to arthritis, injury, or age-related wear and tear, a failing hip can make everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even getting out of bed a challenge. That’s why we are proud to offer comprehensive hip replacement solutions designed to restore mobility, relieve pain, and help you regain your independence.
What is Hip Replacement?
Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out hip joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis. The hip joint, which connects the thigh bone (femur) to the pelvis, is a ball-and-socket joint that plays a crucial role in supporting body weight and allowing movement. When the hip joint is damaged due to conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or fractures, hip replacement surgery can help improve function and alleviate chronic pain.
At Turan & Turan Health Group, we offer both total hip replacement (where the entire joint is replaced) and partial hip replacement (where only part of the joint is replaced), depending on your specific condition.
Why is Hip Replacement Necessary?
Hip replacement surgery is typically recommended when other treatments, such as medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes, no longer provide relief from hip pain and immobility. Common reasons for needing a hip replacement include:
- Osteoarthritis: This age-related condition causes the cartilage in the hip joint to break down, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to joint damage and pain.
- Hip Fractures: Severe fractures, particularly in older adults, may require replacement if the bones cannot be repaired or if healing is compromised.
- Avascular Necrosis: A condition where the blood supply to the hip bone is interrupted, causing the bone to die and leading to joint collapse.
- Congenital Hip Issues: Some individuals are born with hip abnormalities that may lead to the need for replacement later in life.
The Turan & Turan Health Group Approach to Hip Replacement
At Turan & Turan Health Group, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care for our patients undergoing hip replacement surgery. Our approach is patient-centered, ensuring that we understand your individual needs and circumstances before recommending a treatment plan. Here’s how we approach hip replacement surgery:
1. Comprehensive Consultation and Assessment
The first step in your hip replacement journey is a thorough consultation with one of our experienced orthopedic surgeons. During this visit, we’ll conduct a detailed assessment, which may include X-rays, MRIs, and a physical exam. This helps us understand the extent of the damage to your hip joint and determine whether hip replacement surgery is the best option for you.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan
Once we’ve determined that hip replacement is appropriate, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We discuss the types of prosthetic joints available, the surgical approach, and what you can expect during recovery. Our goal is to ensure that you are fully informed and comfortable with the process.
We offer two main types of hip replacement surgeries:
- Total Hip Replacement (THR): In this procedure, both the ball (femoral head) and the socket (acetabulum) are replaced with artificial components made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. THR is typically recommended for patients with widespread joint damage.
- Partial Hip Replacement (PHR): In some cases, only the ball of the hip joint is replaced. This may be an option if the socket is relatively healthy and the damage is limited to the femoral head.
3. Advanced Surgical Techniques
Our surgeons at Turan & Turan Health Group use the latest minimally invasive techniques for hip replacement surgery, which result in smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster recovery times. These advanced techniques also minimize the risk of complications and promote a quicker return to normal activities.
4. Post-Surgery Rehabilitation and Recovery
Following your surgery, rehabilitation is key to achieving the best outcomes. We provide a comprehensive post-surgery rehabilitation plan to help you regain strength, flexibility, and mobility in your new hip joint. Our rehabilitation specialists work with you to develop a personalized program of exercises and stretches aimed at enhancing recovery and preventing complications.
During your recovery, we monitor your progress closely and make adjustments to your plan as needed. Most patients are able to return to daily activities within a few weeks, although it may take a few months to fully recover and resume more strenuous activities.
5. Long-Term Care and Monitoring
Once you’ve recovered from surgery, our team continues to provide long-term care and monitoring to ensure the health and longevity of your hip replacement. We offer regular follow-up visits to assess the condition of your new hip and address any concerns that may arise.
Benefits of Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery offers numerous benefits, especially for patients who have struggled with chronic hip pain and limited mobility. Some of the key benefits include:
- Pain Relief: One of the most immediate benefits of hip replacement is the relief from chronic pain, allowing you to live a more comfortable life.
- Improved Mobility: With a properly functioning hip joint, you can move more freely and perform daily activities, such as walking, sitting, and standing, without discomfort.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Patients often experience a significant improvement in their overall quality of life, including the ability to return to hobbies, exercise, and social activities.
- Increased Independence: Hip replacement allows many patients to regain their independence, reducing their reliance on others for help with daily tasks.
- Long-Term Durability: Modern hip implants are designed to last for many years, with many patients experiencing durable results that enable them to enjoy an active lifestyle for decades.
