Why Bikini Hip Replacement Has Gained Favor With Many Surgeons And Patients Alike

The <A href="http://www.bikinihipreplacement.com.au">bikini hip replacement</A> is a surgical procedure that targets to replace hip joints with a prosthetic implant. This can either be a total or semi replacement and is common to relieve arthritis pain. It is also performed to fix severe damages resulting from fractures. For total surgery also known as total hip arthroplasty, both the acetabulum and femoral head are replaced while only the femoral head is replaced in case of hemiarthroplasty (half surgery).
For patients suffering from most of arthritis including rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, protrusio acetabula, benign, malignant bone tumor, ankylosing spondylitis and any bikini fracture among several other related conditions all qualify for this procedure. It helps to relieve pain and allow the patient to resume other physical activities.
It involves minimal incision through bikini line hence the name. Other than minimal inversion, there is also minimal reduction of the tissue and bone. This is followed by gently inserting implants using portals that are normally less than two inches. The implants could be made of plastics or ceramics materials. Initially, the metallic implants were common but they are no longer used due to several health related concerns. An aesthesia would normally be used during the procedure.
The implants used automatically grow into bone leading to very fast recovery. The mini-incision done helps preserve most of tendons and muscles. The tissues that are cut in the process are easily repaired which encourages very quick recovery and less bleeding. When the wound get healed, the resulting scar is hidden on the groin crease and is cosmetically pleasing.
With very big reduction on the time needed for recovery and over fifty percent reduction on the cost required for similar operations, this has emerged to be the most popular form of orthopaedic operation with over 97% approval rate as voted by patients with improved outcomes. Most of the patients are released from the hospital on the same day or on the second day and one will be able to drive in as little as 9 days after operation.
This procedure is however not recommended for patients who are obese or those who are very muscular where tendon sparing is more recommended. When it comes to complex revision hip surgery, it may not provide the best alternative although it is still provides solution to the majority of hip related surgeries.
High rate of success and many advantages associated with this procedure are perhaps the reason for its popularity. The major success factors include less bleeding, less pain throughout and after the procedure and ability of resulting wounds to heal very fast. This also reduces chances of infections. The muscle weakness and immobilization common with other forms of surgeries are also greatly reduced. The scar is very small and in hands of a good doctor, the patient is not worried of possibility dislocations.
When performed by an experienced surgeon, such side effects and complications as bleeding, loosening of prosthesis, infection, blood clots and limb length discrepancy should not arise. Insurance organizations are also in support of this type of procedure as the total charges are far much less as compared to other similar procedures.
