Broaches are specialized surgical instruments used in hip replacement surgery to prepare the femur (thigh bone) for the implantation of the artificial hip joint. They are essentially reamers that create a smooth, precisely shaped canal in the femoral shaft to accommodate the stem of the femoral component. There are two main types of broaches used in hip replacement: Manual broaches: These are operated by the surgeon using a mallet to hammer them into the bone. Powered broaches: These are motorized instruments that deliver more consistent force and reduce the risk of surgeon fatigue. The choice of broach type depends on the surgeon’s preference and the specific details of the surgery. #hipreplacement #hipsurgery #anteriorhipreplacement #totalhipreplacement #orthopedicsurgeon

Trying to make the best out of crutch life 🩼 Over 10 weeks on crutches this year so far. 3 weeks to go. 3 months on crutches last year. And more surgeries to go later this year. Asking for help FOR EVERYTHING is so hard. But thankful for the people who have been there for me 🩵💪🏽 #hipsurgery #crutches #surgery

IYKYK I have been dreading (and I mean dreading) this hip replacement surgery but friends, I did it!!! The first photo was taken just a few hours after surgery and I could only muster the strength to walk from my bed into the hallway. I wasn’t in much pain (thanks to the nerve block) but that also meant my right leg was still asleep and not cooperating. It was upsetting to me that I couldn’t get my leg to move like I wanted it to (and it scared me a bit). However, I was back up a couple of hours later and did much better. As you can see on Day 2 (20 hours post op) I was in much better spirits and felt & looked much better. Due to our glorious healthcare system and insurance, I was released to go home at hour 24! It was a beautiful day and I kept counting my blessings and got to love on my Ellie when we got in the house (she doesn’t like the walker). I have actually taken baby steps without the walker which felt pretty darned good. No worries, I am holding onto things and it feels good to be contraption free. :) Today I get to take a shower and I plan to walk more. PT starts tomorrow…yay!! I want to thank each and every one for your encouragement throughout this entire ordeal. I am so blessed to have so many loved ones in my life. Your prayers and good vibes meant so much to me. #hipsurgery #womenover50 #myrecovery #bestisyettocome

Day 2 of laparoscopic hip surgery. Thank you for the continued prayers for both of us. I fought off a sinus infection with yalls prayer, my own and essential oil, so praise Jesus! The enemy cannot take this girl out. He tried and He won! Love you all! 🫶🏼#surgery #hipsurgery #veterans #praisejesus #laparoscopicsurgery

Here are a few facts about robotic knee replacement: -Surgeons can create a virtual 3D model of the patient’s knee before the surgery, allowing for better planning and individualized treatment. -Robotic knee replacement can result in less trauma to the surrounding tissues compared to traditional knee replacement techniques, potentially leading to reduced pain and faster rehabilitation. -Robotic knee replacement can lead to faster recovery times and improved long-term outcomes due to its precise nature. #kneereplacement #kneesurgery #hipreplacements #hipsurgery #kneepain #hippain #hipinjury #kneeinjury #orthopedicsurgeon #fyp

The acetabular cup is a component used in hip replacement surgery. It’s a part of the prosthetic hip joint that replaces the acetabulum, which is the socket-shaped part of the hip bone. The cup is typically made of metal, plastic, or ceramic and is implanted into the pelvis to provide a new socket for the artificial ball of the femur bone to move within, recreating the hip joint’s function. #hipreplacements #hippain #hipsurgery #orthopedicsurgeon #fyp

An interesting fact about anterior total hip replacement is that it is a minimally invasive surgical approach where the surgeon accesses the hip joint from the front of the body, between the muscles, rather than from the side or back. #anteriorhipreplacement #hipreplacementsurgery #hipreplacement #hippain #hipsurgery #hipsurgeon #orthopedicsurgeon #hipreplacements #hipinjury #fyp

Youngest Hip Replacement patient⁉️ As joint replacement surgery has evolved, so have the patients. The average age of those having knee and ##HipReplacementsurgery is decreasing. For hips, the average age is now 65 and knees is 66. . According to a study from the American Academy of ##OrthopedicSurgeonsnot only is the avg age of ##JointReplacementpatients younger, but there is also a projected increase in the number of surgeries that will be performed before the end of the decade. What was once thought of as a last resort for older patients has now transitioned to a way for active individuals with arthritis to continue their healthy lifestyle well into the future. . New joint replacement technologies and techniques to benefit younger patients: ✅ Direct anterior approach for hip replacement: ##AnteriorApproachto hip replacement has been molded through special fellowship training in both young adult hip surgery. The Direct Anterior Approach and other minimally invasive approaches may be of particular benefit in the younger active patient. These procedures allow surgeons to work through natural soft tissue planes without cutting muscles or tendons, helping to prevent damage to the well-functioning anatomy of patients. Direct Anterior ##HipArthroplastyis a more technically complex surgery and can take longer in the operating room, but results in a quicker recovery and less risk of hip dislocation. ✅ Robotics/Image-guided surgery: CT-based surgical planning and robotic-assisted guidance increases precision in placing implants allowing many patients to forgo certain post-op hip precautions (not crossing their legs, elevated toilet seats, etc) ✅ Cementless technology for hip and knee replacements: Development of uncemented joint replacement implants include potential benefits of being longer-lasting with a more durable bond between implants and bone. #hipreplacement #hippainrelief #hipsurgery

Awake for Hip Replacement 👀 Spinal anesthesia has emerged as a safe and often preferred technique in primary total hip arthroplasties. Data from single institutions and databases alike have suggested several advantages of spinal anesthesia in comparison to general anesthesia including improved postoperative pain control, reduced opioid consumption, reduced hospital length of stay, and fewer postoperative adverse events. . Recently, studies have also confirmed that spinal anesthesia was associated with several advantages in both aseptic and septic revision #hipreplacement surgeries. These benefits included reduced readmissions, reoperations, transfusions, surgical site infections, and even postoperative mortalities. With revision joint replacements, only modest gains were observed in terms of LOS, operative time, and blood loss when evaluated at the institutional level.

Hey Everyone, I thought I would check in with you. I’m not going to lie…this recovery has definite ups and downs. I honestly think if I had been able to stay an extra day in the hospital when I had the surgery that it would have made such a difference in my recovery as I would have had 3 In-Patient PT sessions that I didn’t get because my insurance did not cover anything past 24 hours. insurance companies are the devil’s spawn and it’s disgusting how they rule what we need when it comes to our health. Yesterday was my first time in the park and it felt so good to be in fresh air and walk. I look like hell but I wanted to reach out and let you know i’m here and still kicking! My pain has increased today because I probably overdid it yesterday. o feel like I have taken a step back but i’m listening to my body and taking it very easy today. i’ll post again soon! sending hugs from Texas!!! 🥰 #hipsurgery #hipreplacements #womenover50 #over50 #over60 #surgeryrecovery #feelingblue

Very Small Wins. I need the gym for my mental health and it also helps with my digestive health. This is the longest I’ve been out of the gym and I was grateful to just do a few things. Bench press has been a staple for me for a very long time because my hips have been so bad for legit over 15 years. Some get the wrong idea. I was not doing well during this and I am still extremely crippled. I am lucky enough to have some help in the gym right now to be able to do some exercises to clear my head. • #paosurgery #hipsurgery #pao

Candidates for bilateral hip replacement typically include individuals who have severe hip joint damage or degeneration in both hips, leading to significant pain, reduced mobility, and impaired quality of life. Common conditions that might lead to bilateral hip replacement include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or other serious hip joint conditions. #bilateralhipreplacement #hipreplacementsurgery #hippain #anteriorhipreplacement #hipinjury #hipsurgery #hipsurgeon #orthopedicsurgeon #fyp
