Summary: On the back of soaring instances of trauma and accident cases, hip replacement procedures have gained substantial upswing, thus curving substantial growth in global hip replacement implants market.
Traditionally, the procedure has been associated with invasive and painful techniques and long recovery times but Mr Gikas says advances in surgical techniques and technologies have revolutionised hip replacement surgery.
4.6% of all hip surgery patients and 10% of total hip replacement surgery patients experienced surgical complications within three months following their surgery.
IANS | San Francisco Apple and Zimmer Biomet, a global leader in musculo-skeletal healthcare, have launched a major clinical study where an app on Apple Watch and iPhone will guide knee and hip replacement patients through pre- and post-operation care.
Malek said the first human hip replacement actually was inspired by a procedure originally performed in dogs, and it has taken some time for the process to work its way from people back to small animals.
If you have pain that interferes with daily life, difficulty going up stairs, walking, or getting out of a chair, if you feel pain at rest or during sleep, and/or these symptoms aren't alleviated by NSAIDs, physical therapy, steroid injections or use of walking device, you may be a candidate for hip replacement.
