Techniques In Implementing A Hip Replacement Operation
The issuance of a hip recall for alleged defective hip implants from DePuy 
Orthopaedic’s ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and ASR Hip Resurfacing System led to an estimated 1,000 DePuy hip replacement lawsuits filed by afflicted individuals. This should not discourage you, though, since a majority of hip replacement implantation using well-made hip implants caused good results to most patients.
A hip replacement surgery is an invasive type of major orthopaedic operation implemented by a surgeon who specializes in bone disorders. This can be done as a total replacement or a partial replacement wherein impaired parts of the hip bone or hip joint is replaced by an artificial hip implant.
The damaged acetabulum and femoral bone, the two parts of a ball-and-socket joint of the hip, secondary to a bone disease condition such as osteoarthritis are involved in a total hip arthroplasty.
Arthritis pain and hip joint injury are usually treated with joint replacement orthopaedic surgery, a type of partial hip arthroplasty. In a hip arthroplasty, various approaches are used.
There are various approaches where the surgeon would incise the gluetues medius to access the affected part. The different techniques or approaches in a hip replacement surgery are:
- Posterior approach: also known as Moore or Southern approach, the incision is made posteriorly.
- Lateral approach: also known as Hardinge or Liverpool approach and is the most-used approach in a hip arthroplasty.
- Antero-lateral approach: is also known as the Watson-Jones approach.
- Anterior approach: pelvic fracture is indicated for a Smith-Petersen approach, another name of this technique.
- Minimally-invasive approach: there is minimal damage to the muscles and tissues during surgery since small incision is made at various location. The disadvantage of this approach is there is minimum visualization of the operation area.
The location of the patients injury helps the surgeon in deciding where is the best location for the initial incision. The devices to use is also determined by the extent of the injury at hand.
Wiping out the defective hip implants through the issuance of recalls, such as the DePuy hip recall, entails assurance for those who are about to have a hip replacement surgery. You can search for more information about the recall and the lawsuits in various sites.
