Fixation And Replacement

Fixation and Replacement treatment is given to patients who have suffered from hip joint disorders and other related issues with their hip joints. This treatment procedure and the surgeon's approach toward the patient depend on the patient's health, age, hip condition, and availability of any diseases or infections.

Basically, Fixation is a medical technique that is majorly used to treat fractures in the hip joints. The treatment involves the realigning of the fractured bone fragments with the help of plates, rods, screws, or nails to sustain  the fracture. The fixation methods of using these artificial components depend upon the patients' fractured conditions and the preferences of the surgeons.

The outcome of giving fixation to the patients is letting them free from hip joint pain, allowing them to function appropriately in their hip joints, and healing their bone fragments. In some cases, physical therapies and rehabilitation are also given to patients for better functioning and mobility after fixation and replacement.

In the case of severe arthritis, hip replacement surgery has been recommended by the surgeons to the patients.  In Total Hip Replacement surgery, hip joint bone fragments are replaced by artificial components made up of ceramic, metals, or plastic. This method aims to give patients relief from overall pain in the hip joints, promote proper hip functioning, and improve the quality of the hips after hip replacement surgery. Patients need to adopt the rehabilitation process, which is essential for recovery and regaining strength with the functioning of the hips.
