Prostheses help sufferers with joint wear

Prostheses help sufferers with joint wear

The aging of the population is a fact verified in several nations. As the population ages problems involving mobility appear more frequently. Discomfort such as arthritis, necrosis, femoral neck fractures due to osteoporosis are the most common reported by patients and Total Hip Arthroplasty has been presented as a solution for these cases.

All joints are coated with cartilage, which provides a allowing free and painless movements. Over the years, cartilage can be destroyed by inflammatory diseases. Without the cartilage, the contact between the bones causes pain, stiffness and functional incapacity.

The surgery can be performed practically without cutting muscles, entering between them, called invasive minimizing surgery

Among the conservative treatments, the patient can choose to lose weight, use walking stick on the opposite hand to the affected side, use a walker, do physiotherapy or hydrotherapy. However, if the result is unsatisfactory and the pain continues, the surgeon may indicate an arthroplasty.

Total Hip Arthroplasty is a common procedure in orthopedics, which consists of replacing the joint worn by artificial implants. This relieves pain and improves mobility. The surgery can be performed virtually without cutting muscles, entering between them, called invasive minimally invasive surgery. The incisions are usually smaller and allow a faster hospital discharge, in addition to less bleeding. Like any surgical procedure, this is not always an advantage. The operation requires special instruments and, mainly, patients who meet all the criteria to undergo Arthroplasty.

Furthermore, if the doctor is not a specialist there is a risk of error in the positioning of femoral and acetabular implants, which may compromise

A great advance developed in our clinic has been used since 2004. It is a methodology that allows to place the prosthesis in a practically perfect way which has been shown in Europe with great acceptability. The technique is simple, reproducible being accessible to the vast majority of professionals. We hope that more and more professionals in the field will use this methodology three times in Europe and this year will be presented to orthopedic doctors in the United States.

The durability of a prosthesis depends not only on the materials used but also on the way how it is implanted, used and, mainly, positioned.

There are also hip prostheses for young and active patients who do not cut the head of the femur. These prostheses also allow the practice of impact sports and have great durability since they are perfectly implanted in the appropriate patient. It is made up of two metal parts with very high resistance to wear and tear.
