Outpatient Total Hip Replacement
.At some point in your life, you may suffer from debilitating pain or stiffness in either or both of your hip joints. This pain may be intermittent at first, but over months or years may progress and require treatment.
For osteoarthritis of the hips, conservative treatments begin with physical therapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) and activity modifications. Later patients can consider treatment options such as steroid injections, which are approved by insurances. Other injections are also available at patient cost, with varied results including: platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy, stem cell injections, and visco supplementation. If these methods fail to provide relief, then typically total hip replacement can be considered
What You Need To Know
The OJRCA Method
A total hip replacement surgery is a procedure where the damaged bone and/or cartilage of the hip is surgically replaced with a prosthetic joint. In the past, total hip replacement procedures would typically require incisions that were 8-12 inches in size. The latest minimally invasive techniques allow incisions to be reduced to 3-5 inches long, depending upon patient factors such as bone structure and body habitus. These techniques have reduced the need for blood transfusions and have eliminated any restrictions (or precautions) following your surgery. Allowing for a speedy recovery.
You may be a good candidate for a total hip replacement if you have:
Pain in hip and/or groin, deep buttocks or thigh, that has persisted after a course of conservative treatment
Diagnosis of moderate to advanced arthritis such as “bone on bone” arthritis. Typically seen on an X-Ray (Does not require MRI imaging in most cases
Pain that is severe enough to prohibit you, or limit you, in daily activities (walking, climbing stairs, getting up from a chair, getting in/out of a car, putting on shoes or socks or trimming nails)
In contrast pain that is likely hip bursitis causes pain on the outside of your hip and is worsened with direct pressure. An example would be if you cannot sleep on the affected side at night.
If this is a persistent problem for you, or you’re not certain where your pain is coming from, our team would be happy to discuss, evaluate, and treat your pain.
