| Dr. Rogerson may
recommend total hip replacement surgery, or hip arthroplasty, to
treat your hip pain. BFH® Technology offers a revolutionary
surgical option that can reduce pain and increase range of
motion, and due to its unique, larger size, decrease chances of
post-operative dislocation as it more closely mimics the size of
your normal hip versus traditional hip implants.
Total hip replacement surgery is
performed by means of open incision. A typical operation may
take one to several hours. The diseased ball end of the thigh
bone (the femur) is removed so that the socket can be seen. The
bony socket is fashioned to contain a new metal socket.
The femur is subsequently
prepared for the stem. Once the stem is placed in the femur, a
smooth ball is attached. The ball is then placed in the socket
and the surgery is finished. |
