UnCemented Hip Replacement
Hip replacement, or arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the diseased parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with new, artificial parts. These artificial parts are called the prosthesis. The goals of hip replacement surgery include increasing mobility, improving the function of the hip joint, and relieving pain.
We also specilise in minimally invasive, or mini-incision, hip replacement, which requires smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time than traditional hip replacement. Candidates for this type of surgery are usually younger, of normal weight based on body mass index, and healthier than candidates for traditional surgery.
Metallic parts are fixed to existing, healthy bone with a special filler called cement. Hip replacement using these parts is referred to as a cemented procedure. Uncemented parts rely on a process called biologic fixation, which holds them in place by a process called bony ingrowth.
Cemented replacements are more frequently used for older, less active people and people with weak bones, such as those who have osteoporosis, while uncemented replacements are more frequently used for younger, more active people.
A combination of part cemented and part uncemented called HYBRID procedure is also used in select patients. I have performed over 400 Total Hip Replacements in the last 20 years of practice in UK and India.
