Hip Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy means viewing inside a joint. Hip arthroscopy is a procedure in which surgeon puts miniature camera known as arthroscope inside the joint which helps in diagnosing various disease conditions. Hip arthroscopy is required in painful hip conditions not responding to non- surgical treatment like rest, physical therapy, medication or injections. Hip arthroscopy is a minimal invasive hip surgery. The use of miniature instruments allows smaller incision, less blood loss and shorter hospital stay.

Hip arthroscopy helps to:

  • Relieve pain in selected cases of hip disorder.
  • Remove loose bodies.
  • Repair tear and damage.
  • Delay onset of osteoarthritis.
  • Delay the need of total hip replacement

Compared to traditional or open hip surgery, hip arthroscopy provides best possible result with rapid post-operative recovery and high patient satisfaction.

Indications

Hip arthroscopy is indicated in cases of –

  • Articular cartilage damage.
  • Loose bodies.
  • Hip impingement syndrome.
  • Labor tears.
  • Infection

Modular Hemiarthroplasty

Bipolar hemi-arthroplasty is done in cases of fracture of hip bone (fracture neck of femur) in elderly patients. In this procedure part of proximal end of thigh bone (femur) is replaced with prosthetic components.

Indication:

  • Poor general health or fragility.
  • Pathological hip fracture.
  • Severe osteoporosis where fracture fixation not possible.
  • Inadequate closed reduction or cases of failed fracture fixation.
  • Displaced fracture that is several days old.
  • Pre-existing hip disease (e g rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis).
  • Patients having Neurological disorder.

Advantages –

Bipolar hemi- arthroplasty is successful in elderly patients of unstable, comminuted fractures with osteoporosis where fracture fixation has bad prognosis.

For elderly patients with multiple comorbidities bipolar hemi- arthroplasty procedure is a less complicated and less expensive surgery compared to total hip replacement

Bipolar hemi-arthroplasty has another advantage over fracture fixation surgery that patients bear weight immediately and are encouraged to move and exercise the involved limbs. This reduces the period of bed rest and in turn rate of complications.
