Hip Replacement: Regain Your Mobility

Hip replacement is one of the most effective treatment methods for patients with severe joint pain and restricted mobility. Prosthetic surgery may become inevitable over time for patients with severe damage to the hip joint due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic injuries, or falls. This surgery is performed with materials personalized according to the patient's age, bone structure, and general health status.

The most common disease requiring hip replacement is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a disease caused by the wear and tear of the joint cartilage over time and can make it difficult for patients to walk or even sit up in the future. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that occurs when the immune system attacks the joints and the joint surfaces deteriorate. In addition, diseases such as avascular necrosis cause the joint to collapse as bone tissue dies due to insufficient blood flow. Hip fractures are also one of the most common reasons for prosthesis surgery, especially in elderly patients, fracture healing can be slow and prostheses become necessary to restore mobility.

Hip Replacement Surgery at Acibadem

Acıbadem Healthcare Group uses the most advanced surgical approaches in hip replacement surgeries. The anterolateral approach applied by Prof. Dr. Burak Akan in hip replacement surgeries minimizes the risk of postoperative joint dislocation and allows patients to recover faster. During the surgery, the most suitable prosthesis is selected for the patient's bone structure, and individualized treatment plans are applied according to the patient's needs.

Ms. Diane's Recovery Process: A Journey of Hope

Diane, 57, had prosthetic surgery on her left hip joint four years ago in her home country. But the expected improvement did not materialize and she lived in pain for years. In the last three months, the pain became unbearable and she was unable to walk. The examinations revealed that the prosthesis was out of place and she was told that she needed to undergo surgery again. Diane, who applied to Acıbadem Healthcare Group with the concerns produced by this, experienced a great change with expert doctors and advanced technology. After the revision surgery performed by Prof. Dr. Burak Akan, she started walking again on the same day of surgery. She was discharged within four days and returned to her normal life. She is now enjoying a pain-free life.

Ms. Diane's story is a concrete example of Acıbadem's success in hip replacement surgery and its patient-oriented approach. Prof. Dr. Burak Akan and his team meticulously evaluated Ms. Diane's condition and determined that she had severe bone loss. After undergoing a difficult revision surgery, Mrs. Diane started walking the same day after the operation and soon got rid of her pain. As Diane's wife Amara, a physician, notes, Acıbadem's professional and patient-oriented approach played an important role in Ms. Diane's recovery.

Recovery Process After Hip Replacement

Although the recovery process after hip replacement operations varies depending on the patient's condition, walking can usually be started on the same day. Prof. Dr. Akan states that most of his patients take steps with the help of a walker 4-6 hours after surgery. While the use of a walker or cane is recommended for the first week, patients can start walking without support after one week. The physical therapy process is of great importance to increase the patient's mobility and restore muscle strength. After one month, most patients can return to their normal lives.
