What is a constrained hip liner?
Constrained acetabular liners are a powerful revision option for achieving joint stability particularly when the cause of dislocation cannot be determined. They are designed to hold the femoral head captive via a secure locking mechanism.
What is the best material for hip implant?
Since they were first used in 1970, ceramic-on-ceramic hip implants have been considered by many orthopedic experts the best option for hip prostheses, in terms of quality and durability. Ceramic-on-ceramic hip implants have lower rates of bone deterioration, loosening or dislocation and, ultimately, revision.
What are hip precautions for a Post op hip replacement patient?
What are some precautions for self-care after hip replacement surgery (posterior)?
- Keep your toes pointing forward or slightly out. Don’t rotate your leg too far to the inside.
- Do not bend your hip more than 90 degrees.
- Keep your knees apart. Don’t cross your legs.
What is constrained acetabular component?
By definition, constrained total hip arthroplasty components include a mechanism that locks the prosthetic femoral head into a polyethylene acetabular component.
What exercises should be avoided after hip replacement?
The following activities are generally not recommended after hip replacement: running, jogging, squash, racquetball, contact sports, sports where jumping is involved, heavy lifting (over 50 lbs).
What is a constrained component?
Constrained components usually include a locking mechanism incorporated into the polyethylene acetabular liner to keep the prosthetic femoral head in place. Two different prosthetic designs are available and have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
What is the most advanced hip replacement surgery?
The latest advanced technology, a percutaneously-assisted “SUPERPATH™” approach, involves sparing the surrounding muscles and tendons when performing total hip replacement surgery. This technique builds a traditional hip implant in-place without cutting any muscles or tendons.
