Mediglobe collaborates with hospitals in Turkey for Total Hip Replacement Surgery
Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery, also known as total hip arthroplasty, is a common and highly successful procedure designed to relieve pain and restore mobility in patients with severe hip damage. This surgery involves replacing the damaged hip joint with an artificial prosthesis, allowing patients to regain function and improve their quality of life. Therefore, Mediglobe recommends affordable, high-quality treatments. Moreover, Mediglobe is in cooperation with hospitals in Turkey that work to European and American standards and have accreditation.
Who Needs a Total Hip Replacement?
THR is typically recommended for individuals suffering from:
- Osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis)
- Rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune joint damage)
- Post-traumatic arthritis (due to hip fractures or injuries)
- Avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to the hip bone)
- Congenital hip disorders (developmental dysplasia)
Mediglobe recommends you a Total Hip Replacement Surgery package according to your needs.
Patients usually consider surgery when:
✔ Pain persists despite medication and physical therapy
✔ Mobility is severely limited
✔ Daily activities (walking, climbing stairs) become difficult
✔ Sleep is disrupted due to hip pain
The Surgical Procedure:
- Pre-Surgery Preparation:
- Medical evaluation (blood tests, imaging, heart/lung assessment)
- Medication adjustments (e.g., stopping blood thinners)
- Preoperative physical therapy to strengthen muscles
- Types of Hip Replacement Surgeries:
- Traditional THR: A large incision is made to replace the joint.
- Minimally Invasive THR: Smaller incisions, faster recovery.
- Anterior Approach: Surgery from the front of the hip, reducing muscle damage.
- Posterior Approach: More common, involves accessing the hip from the back.
- The Procedure:
- Anaesthesia: General or spinal anaesthesia is administered.
- Incision: The surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone.
- Implant Placement: A metal/polymeric socket, femoral stem, and ball are secured.
- Closure: The incision is closed with stitches or staples. Mediglobe collaborates modern hospitals with Turkey, experienced specialists, and recommend personalised treatment plans.
