Prosthetic Hip Dislocation And Its Effects

A dislocation of the actebulofemoral joint is a very serious condition and need immediate medical attention. It is often accompanied with soft tissue damage; in this case a labral tear. In a case of a hip dislocation and a labral tear, an open hip surgery will need to be executed. Following the surgery, the athlete will enter phase 1 of the rehabilitation process. This phase is mainly focused on protecting the repaired tissue, regaining passive range of motion, preventing muscular inhibition, prevent gait abnormalities, decrease pain, and decrease inflammation. The main precaution of this phase is that the patient should not push through pain or pinching in the hip because it may be injuring healing tissue. Phase 1 will last for 6 weeks and

PROCEDURE IN DETAIL: The patient was brought into the operating room, after satisfactory anesthesia, was placed in the left lateral dicubitis position. The right hip was prepped and draped. A previous made incision was reopened over the greater trochanter and carried down to Illiotibial (IT) band. The IT band was opened in the direction of the skin incision. The anterior 1/3 of the gluteus medius/minimus group was reflected off the trochanter over to the anterior brim of the pelvis. The hip was dislocated. The femoral component was easily removed. It was loose in the cement. The polyethylene was loose and easily removed. There was a lot of cement in and around the acetabulum. We debridement most of this. There was a wired mesh plug that went medially into the pelvis that was left in place. There was also one in the ishium that was quite stable and it was left in place. There was a large defect in the medial wall of the acetabulum about the size of a silver dollar.

The bone structure of a normal hip consists of an acetabular and a femoral head, which is covered with articular cartilage, a smooth and strong cover. There is then a ring of cartilage which is called the acetabular labrum. This provides stability, maintains joint fluid pressure and distributes weight to the femoral head. With poor coverage of the femoral

A closed reduction is a procedure to align bones that have moved out of place. A knee dislocation occurs when one of the leg bones slips out of its normal position in the knee socket. It typically involves the bones in the lower leg (tibia or fibula) in relation to the thigh bone (femur). Knee dislocation in a leg with an artificial (prosthetic) knee joint is not common. When this injury occurs, it is a medical emergency that needs to be treated right away.

An incision will be made in your hip. Your surgeon will take out any damaged cartilage and bone.

Patients that experience hip fractures will die within a year. Many of these fractures are due to immobility according to assessment and Management of Clinical Problems (1788). Many falls occur in the older adult population and usually age over 60. Hip fractures not only happen with falls but also can come from blunt trauma to the hip, car accident, disease like osteoporosis and obesity can all be a major concern to hip fractures. The video talks about the common hip joint site are dislocation. Hip fracture may involve both vascular and bony damage to the body. Hip fractures are determined by atomic location of the fracture. These common fractures occur at the head of the femur, neck and greater trochanter. Over my twenty years of health care experience I have witness patients going through some difficult physical therapy. Many patients do not bounce back and many give up because the rehab is so

If you have pain in the groin or hip area that either keeps you up at night, or wakes up from a deep sleep, you may be in need of a hip replacement.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis, is a disease that slithers upon you like a snake. The pain begins in your lower leg, usually in the knee or ankle. However, that is not where the pain is truly located, the pain is located at the hip. The pain is caused by the displacement of the proximal femoral epiphysis from the metaphysis. A study of the disease in Germany, “with 411 overweight children in the study, 196 of them being males, the investigation showed 18.2% experienced reduced range of motion for hip flexing” (Wabitsch et al 2-3). The results from the German study showed that “eleven out of 54, showed signs of an abnormal head-neck ratio, this is a sign of prior silent slipped capital femoral epiphysis”

This condition is typically caused by tight tendons or muscles around the hip. This often happens from overuse.

In a normal hip, the head of the femur or “the ball” sits in the socket of the hip joint and is very rounded. There is good blood supply and allows the osteoblast to continue to generate new bone. It also allows osteocytes maintain the bone shape. The factors lead to a healthy hip and permits that child to use it efficiently. During LCPD, the blood supply to the ball of the femur is interrupted. This loss of blood to this area inhibits osteoblast to create new bone, and osteocytes

Hip arthroplasty is the replacement of the hip joint with a prosthesis, and is one of the most common reconstructive operations (Huo et al 2008). Hip arthroplasty may be performed when irreversible damage has occurred to the joint; this damage often causes pain, dysfunction and reduced quality of life.

The hip flexor is a group of muscles that assist with the upward movement of your leg or knee. An injury occurs when these muscles are torn or stretched too far. This can occur from having weak muscles, forgetting to warm up, having stiff muscles, or from a fall. The athletes that have hip flexor problems play sports that include sudden upward movements or changes in direction. Those sports include martial arts, football, soccer, and hockey.

Over three hundred thousand hip replacements were performed in 2010. A two hundred percent increase from 2000. The number of replacements has continued to grow as recovery from the surgery has become much faster. Although recovery time has decreased, patients are still at risk of infection from their bodies rejecting the metal replacement hip. Infection from the bodies’ reaction to the metal hip will soon become a problem of the past as researchers have begun making replacement hips out of bone-like material infused with antibiotics. These new replacements will allow the body to heal with the new structure instead of fighting the foreign material. Patients will recover even faster with less chance of infection. Each patient’s hip will be custom-made to model the patient's bone with a new technique called Fused Filament Fabrication

Based on the research I have completed, I have expanded my knowledge on hip dysplasia! This research report contains what I have learned. Contained in this is an introduction to hip dysplasia, the problem with it, causes, treatments to hip dysplasia and the effects of having hip dysplasia.

Nowadays total hip replacement surgery is a common procedure with statistics continuing to show a raised numbers of operations taking place and, steadily increasing. From 2010-2011 in England and Wales, over 77,800 total hip replacements and more than 9,000 hip revisions were carried out (National Joint Registry 2011, p35). Also the routine elective surgery period between admission and discharge has been reduced in recent years. In England during 2009/2010 the length of stay was recorded as 5 days for total hip replacement (Health Service Journal 2011)
