Hip prosthesis is a crucial surgery that replaces injured hip bones with an artificial hip implants for better movements and relief from pain. Some hip injuries are so severe that the surgeon opts for hip replacements as the only treatment. 

 As a patient, you must first have a detailed consultation with your hip prosthesis surgeon. Ask all the right questions about your hip injury and the options left before the surgeon. Know about the surgery options and implants. If the surgeon advises to go for hip prosthesis, then find out which implants will be suitable. Remember that not all the hip implants are made equally for all the patients.

 Material of hip implants matters

HEMC Ortho exports hip implants in various materials. You must acquire some knowledge of it. For example, the stem part of the hip implants are generally is made in titanium. Titanium is an alloy of cobalt and chromium. These implants usually have porous surface to make the light in weight. Many shapes of these implants are available to the surgeons for a proper growth of the injured hip bones. 

The other part of hips called the acetabular socket is generally made of polyethylene. Other such sockets are made of polyethylene with some metal support. Your surgeon will select a perfect implant based on your hip injury, age, and other circumstances.

Note that surgeons generally prefer the implants that they have confidence in and have years of experience in handling those devices. So, find out which hip implant your surgeon would like to use in your case.

Which is the more suitable implant?

The first assessment the surgeon will make is how serious your hip bone injury is. Your age, weight, gender, lifestyle, and body stature will play a key role in determining an implant for your surgery needs. Most importantly, cartilage degeneration of the joints will also be assessed before choosing a right implant. 

To find out which hip prosthesis devices will suit the patient best, a surgeon takes many aspects into consideration.  The surgeon may like to use tested implants for a safe surgery. Some surgeons like to choose an implant based on a particular patient’s specific conditions. Others generally like to use the same type of implants that they have been using so far.

However, success of hip prosthesis surgery depends a lot on the surgeon’s own experience. So, find out an experienced surgeon.
