A subchondral cyst is a fluid-filled sac under the cartilage.

In the hospital, they get you up as soon as you are able. A normal hospital stay for a hip replacement is 1-4 days. Before you are discharged from the hospital, you must be able to get in and out of bed by yourself, walk with a walker, crutches, or a cane, and climb 2-3 stairs.

The biggest thing is how much pain you are suffering from. Then your doctor can speak with you about the recovery process to see how you feel about it and together you can decide what is right for you. All in all though, its the doctor who decides so if you don't like what yours says, get a second opinion.

A replacement hip should not be squeaking. Contact your surgeon regarding this. There may be a recall on the replacement hip, or there may be a more simple solution. Do not assume that this is normal.

As long as an individual has the range of motion and flexability to sit within a kayak, there is no reason to believe one would not be able to kayak after hip surgery.

Kayaking is enjoyed by many people with physical limitations. Obese individuals, para-palegics, etc... Kayaking can be quite gentle on the body, and a low-impact exercise (not to mention extreamly enjoyable).

White water kayking, is another story...

Question: !s there a way to get a free hip replacement i am in pain I have bone on bone cant walk to well and have on inc. and cant get SSI I tried they don't care.

Answer 1: In Australia you would only have to see your GP and If You were not insured for it Or even if you were you would get the hip FREE after being placed on a waiting list for about up to 3 months.

Answer 2: Although a completely free hip replacement may not be possible in the U.S., you can elect to receive your surgery overseas at a savings of up to 80% of the cost. Many internationally approved hospitals and surgeons are available to provide safe and affordable surgery. For more information about medical travel, visit www.medretreat.com

Answer 3: An alternative to hip replacement is hip resurfacing surgery in the case you are a young and active individual (usually < 65yrs of age). For affordable orthopedic surgery like hip replacement and hip resurfacing, consider medical tourism, which means traveling to another city or country for huge discounts (60-90%) on major medical care at some of the top hospitals in the world.

The answer is from 'as soon as you are comfortable' to 'never'. The restrictions on bending are due to the possibility of dislocation (head coming out of socket), which is a function of implant position, head (ball) diameter and approach taken at surgery. It is therefore best to seek the advice of your surgeon. I usually tell by patients to be careful for the first six weeks, mindful for the next 6 months, then do anything that they wish after, given that there is always a small risk of dislocation.

The latest and most lauded advances and improvements in hip surgery procedures is the use of minimally invasive techniques. These techniques include incisions that disturb fewer of the muscles and tissues and replacements made of ceramic which are more resistant to wear,

Not as a direct result of hip replacement surgery! But should be no reason to becoming pregnant in the normal manner.

Hi, You could try medical tourism and receive quality care for a fraction of the price and without the long wait. In 2008 more than 200,000 Americans travelled abroad for healthcare, and that number is expected to double by 2010. You could try this company: http://www.medexpresstour.com/en/medical-tourism-enquiry-form I know that they have a certified surgeon; he had his training in the USA, in addition to this the operation will cost you just $ 4400. Best regards.

In 1891 T.Gluck wrote about attempts in Germany to replace the hip ball using ivory to replace the femoral head.

On September 28, 1940 at Columbia Hospital in Columbia, South Carolina, Dr. Austin T. Moore, performed the first metallic hip replacement surgery.

Though there could be multiple reasons behind this, and a real-time examination of the patient is required to make a proper diagnosis, a probable cause could be the compression of the venous network of the hip region involved in the surgery, due to which the venous return of the ankles and legs, which is primarily via the great saphenous vein draining into femoral vein, gets interrupted, causing pooling of blood and lymph in the lower limb, causing edema and hence swollen leg and ankle.

This is fine if you have a prosthetic device. However, if you just have scar tissue (arthrofibrosis) you would code 718.57

yes

Iron will corrode (rust) in the body for a start. It is also not strong enough, the surface would also wear quickly.

If an elbow replacement is any indicator you dont see much joy for about 3 weeks.

You CAN use a hoyer lift after a hip replacement. You have to be mindful of the patient's hip precautions during the transfer. Using a pillow between the patient's legs will help to avoid excessive hip adduction. When possible use multiple people to assist in the transfer. Be sure that the patient's hip flexion does not exceed 90 degrees.

Depending on the reason for the transfer there may be better options than a hoyer lift. If it is for the purpose of getting a patient out of bed into a chair a stand pivot transfer using a gait belt bed>chair would be a good option. Also a slide board transfer into a stretcher chair would also be a better option. Simply sitting on the edge of the bed (with supervision) for an extended period of time would have similar benefits to sitting in a chair.

To sum it up you can use a hoyer lift for hip replacement patients however there are better options. I have personally only used a hoyer lift with hip replacement patients that have fallen out of bed and there is no other lift options. Any kind of transfer is safe as long as you adhere to the total hip precautions (no flexion > 90 degrees, no crossing the legs, no internal rotation) and weight bearing status. Have a qualified person assist you with transfers (occupational and physical therapy) if they are available.

If you are otherwise fit and well, about 6 to 8 weeks.

Exactly what it sounds like. A hip bone is taken out, through surgery of course, and then is replaced with a prostetic. My mom's 'new' hip is made of titanium.

A bone conserving alternative to a Total Hip Replacement (THR) is hip resurfacing. The Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) is a bone conserving implant aimed at young active patients who want there quality of life back!

Instead of replacing the old worn out joint, a BHR resurfaces the femoral head with a Cobalt-Chrome component and inserts a Cobalt-Chrome cup into the acetabular socket. This metal on metal technique last longer and has less wear than the traditional Metal on Plastic THR.

By conserving the bone at the femoral head, revisions should they be needed are much simplier than they are if a THR has been carried out at first.

The BHR was pioneered by Derek McMinn in Birmingham, UK. The implant has a high success rate currently at 97% at 13 years which compared to similar statistics for a THR, the difference is staggering. See McMinn Centre website for more details!
