After all orthopedics rejected this 22 year old Girl for Hip Replacement Surgery, she found solace in Dr. Shailandra Patil. He recommended Anatomical Hip Replacement Surgery also know as Bone conserving Minimally Invasive Total Hip Replacement Surgery, which is ideal for young patients in their early 20's. Offering benefits like:
1. Patient gets the feel of a Natural Hip, as it Mimics Natural Hip anatomy even after replacement,
2. Faster recovery due to preservation of normal hip structure
3. Negligible Chances of Hip Dislocation
4. Very much bone conserving, hardly takes out bone from femoral neck and acetabular side,
5. Future revision surgeries (if required) become simpler due to availability of good bone stock.
6. Implants has a much Longer lifespan as compared to any conventional implant available in India today.
Why Hip Replacement in young patients is now possible: This is because of latest techniques coupled with new age Hip implants. Traditional hip implants generally had a life of about 20-30 years. Which meant the young patient would have to undergo a revision surgery at the age of 40.. However, traditional implants needed a big portion of the femur to gain stability. During revision surgery there is very little portion of the femur left to introduce the new implant. Hence, the end outcome were not to encouraging and often had a limp when walking. Hence, patients had to wait till they were atleast 30 to be eligible for Hip Surgery. Also, Traditional implants were prone to dislocation and highly compromised the quality of life was patients.
With the introduction of latest Anatomical Hip Implant preserves the neck portion of the femur. Hence, following the anteversion of the hip joint. This means the hip implant follows the natural anatomy of the hip joint. This highly reduces the chances of dislocation of the hip implant. While offering higher stability. Consequently, longer life to the implant.
