Joints Replacements
HIP BI-POLAR REPLACEMENT
This person who is 50 +, a known Ankylosing spondylosis patient had undergone BOTH HIP BI-POLAR REPLACEMENT else where 7 years before.
Now he had come with pain , shortening and inability to walk using his left lower limb.
On further evaluation , he was diagnosed with severe OSTEOPENIA (bone weakness) and LEFT HIP PROTRUSIO .(LEFT HIP WALL GOING INSIDE PELVIS.)
We took him for surgery.
Expected difficulty.
We have to remove the old implant without damaging the Pelvis and it was very challenging. Took 2.30 hrs for extracting the metal head alone without damaging the Pelvis.
REVISION THR was done using a special CAGE . The empty cavity produced by the sinking of head needed 2 FEMORAL HEAD ALLOGRAFT.
Total duration of surgery was 7 hours.
Patient did well. Initially mobilised without putting weight and by 6 weeks full weight bearing started.
He was also started on Medication for bone strengthening.
ALL IS WELL and he too became well,
Like Nature , life is always Beautiful ...
