Are you mentally prepared for hip replacement surgery?

No matter how prepared you are for hip replacement surgery, there is always going to be some element of mental preparation that is required. This is because it is still a major operation that will have a significant impact on your life. It's no secret that complications can occur during any surgery, and hip replacement surgery is no different. 

While we think it is the best treatment for hip pain, we still need to be sure of the risks and complications of hip replacement surgery, which can occur. Some of the potential risks are:

Blood clotting

Blood clots in the leg or lung can be life-threatening. Blood thinners may be prescribed by your doctor to assist avoid blood clots. However, these blood thinners may have an impact on your health in the future by generating side effects.

Infection


After hip replacement surgery, it is important to monitor for infection. Symptoms of infection may include fever, redness or warmth around the incision site, increased pain, or drainage from the incision.

Loosening of Replaced Joint

This is normal and happens because the muscles and tendons around your new hip joint take some time to adjust. In some cases, revision surgery may also be required to treat the cause. This will prolong the recovery period as the patient will again be on rest for a few weeks or even a month. 

Joint Failure

  • Inability to walk,

  • Weakness or inability to move your leg, 

  • Intense pain in and around the hip or groin

  • One leg being shorter than the other

These are all symptoms of the joint failure which must not be ignored

Damage to other tissues

While the focus is often on the hip itself, it's important to remember that the surrounding tissues can also be damaged during surgery. This includes things like your muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This can increase the already existing pain. 

Are you still ready for hip replacement surgery? Well, we have an alternative!

Regrow Biosciences is India's leading Biotech Company that offers an advanced way of treating hip joint deterioration, Ossgrow® Bone Cell Therapy.  More than 600 patients have already taken the advantage of cell therapy.

Ossgrow® is an autologous procedure where cells are extracted from a patient's body and processed in a lab. Post that they are implanted again in the body. These cells have the ability to treat hip joints by converting them into the required cells of the body. 

How This Treatment Is Beneficial?

Since this therapy is purely autologous, it reduces the risk of infection from outside sources. Furthermore, the patient's hospital stay is reduced, and they can resume their usual routine within a few days. Mild weight-bearing activities/movement can be resumed 1-3 weeks following surgery, and full routine functional activities and exercises can be resumed 6-12 weeks after surgery, depending on the patient. Depending on your surgeon's suggestion, sports activities can begin 12-24 weeks following treatment.
