Arthroplasty (Joint Replacement Surgery)
Complex Trauma Surgery: Pelvic and Acetabular Surgeries
Pelvic and Acetabular Fracture Surgery at Abhaya Hospitals
At Abhaya Hospitals, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of complex trauma surgeries, particularly focusing on pelvic and acetabular fractures. These injuries often occur due to high-impact trauma, such as car accidents, falls from heights, or severe sports injuries. Pelvic and acetabular fractures can significantly affect mobility and quality of life, requiring timely and precise surgical intervention.
Pelvic Fracture Surgery
Pelvic fractures are typically caused by severe trauma and can be life-threatening due to their proximity to vital organs and blood vessels. These fractures may involve the pelvic ring, sacrum, or iliac bones. At Abhaya Hospitals, we provide advanced surgical solutions for complex pelvic fractures, including:
Surgical Fixation:
- Utilizing plates, screws, and rods to stabilize the pelvis and restore structural integrity.
Minimally Invasive Techniques:
- When possible, we employ minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time, minimize blood loss, and lower the risk of infection.
Rehabilitation and Recovery:
- Our physiotherapists work closely with patients during post-surgery rehabilitation to restore mobility, strength, and stability.
Common Causes of Pelvic Fractures
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: High-impact trauma causing significant pelvic injuries.
- Falls from Heights: Sudden, forceful impacts leading to fractures.
- Direct Trauma or Blows: Sports injuries, violent accidents, or falls.
- Osteoporosis-Related Fractures: Especially in elderly patients where bone density is compromised.
Acetabular Fracture Surgery
The acetabulum is the socket of the hip joint, and fractures in this area are often caused by trauma that disrupts the function of the hip joint. These fractures can lead to complications like arthritis and chronic pain, making early surgical intervention crucial. Abhaya Hospitals offers expert treatment for acetabular fractures through:
Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF):
- This procedure involves repositioning the broken bone fragments and securing them with screws, plates, or rods to restore the normal anatomy of the acetabulum.
Minimally Invasive Surgery:
- In some cases, minimally invasive techniques are utilized to reduce tissue damage, minimize recovery time, and speed up healing.
Hip Reconstruction:
- In severe cases where the acetabulum is significantly damaged, reconstructive surgery may be necessary to restore hip joint stability and function.
Symptoms of Acetabular Fractures
- Severe pain in the hip or groin area.
- Difficulty bearing weight on the affected side.
- Limited range of motion in the hip joint.
- Swelling and bruising around the hip.
At Abhaya Hospitals, our orthopedic surgeons use state-of-the-art techniques to treat pelvic and acetabular fractures. With a focus on minimizing complications and optimizing recovery, our team is committed to restoring the functionality of your bones and joints, helping you return to an active and pain-free life.
What is Arthroplasty?
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure in which a damaged joint is replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis). It is commonly performed on weight-bearing joints such as the hip, knee, and shoulder, where conditions like arthritis, trauma, or degeneration have caused significant pain and loss of mobility.
Types of Arthroplasty Surgeries We Offer
Total Joint Replacement In total joint replacement, the entire damaged joint is replaced with a prosthetic joint made of metal, ceramic, or plastic materials. Common procedures include:
- Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Replacing the damaged cartilage and bone in the knee joint.
- Total Hip Replacement (THR): Replacing the damaged hip joint with a prosthetic implant.
- Shoulder Replacement: For patients with shoulder arthritis or rotator cuff damage.
Partial Joint Replacement Partial joint replacement is an option for patients with damage limited to a specific part of the joint. For example:
- Unicondylar Knee Replacement (UKR): Replacing only the damaged portion of the knee while preserving healthy bone and cartilage.
Revision Arthroplasty Revision arthroplasty is performed to replace or repair a previously implanted prosthetic joint that may have failed due to wear, infection, or other issues.
Custom Joint Replacement For patients with unique anatomy or severe deformities, Abhaya Hospitals offers personalized joint replacements designed to fit individual needs.
Conditions Treated with Arthroplasty
Arthroplasty is often recommended for patients suffering from the following conditions:
- Osteoarthritis: Severe joint damage caused by the wearing down of cartilage.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: Joint damage resulting from chronic inflammation.
- Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Joint damage due to previous injuries or fractures.
- Avascular Necrosis: Bone death caused by loss of blood supply to the joint.
- Congenital Joint Deformities: Structural abnormalities present from birth.
Benefits of Arthroplasty
- Relief from chronic joint pain: Minimizes discomfort and pain caused by arthritis or joint degeneration.
- Improved mobility and range of motion: Regain the ability to perform daily tasks and lead an active lifestyle.
- Restoration of normal joint function: Improves joint stability, strength, and overall function.
- Enhanced quality of life and independence: Reduces dependence on pain medications and improves daily functioning.
- Long-lasting results with modern, durable implants: Advanced implants provide longevity, reducing the need for further surgeries.
