New bone like metal improves hip surgery results in India.

A new bone like material can help improve the result of hip surgery in India. Surgeons like me have access to trabecular metal augments. An augment is a device to build up bone defects of the socket. Bone defects are increasingly common in revision of failed hip resurfacing. Hip resurfacing was a much hyped procedure over the last few years. It is now resulting in early failure and increased incidence of revision hip surgery.
Surgeons like me can boldly address bone defects with the help of these trabecular metal augments.

Short stem hip replacements are salvage for failed hip resurfacing

Metal on metal hip replacements and hip resurfacings have come under a lot of flak in the last few years. Many patients were taken in by the marketing hype and underwent these procedures. Now these implants have been failing at increased rates. These patients face the prospect of a revision hip replacement. Short stem hip replacements or neck serving hip replacements are an option in these young patients. They preserve valuable bone. Early diagnosis with serum chromium levels, MRI scans can detect raised metal levels and loosening. Early conversion to short stem hip replacements can avoid further complications including that of the dreaded 'C' word. Harder and safer bearings like ceramic, polyethylene can be used instead of metal on metal.

AVN treatment in India- Stem cells, Mini hip replacement

AVN or avascular necrosis of hips is a common condition in India. The Times of India recently reported that there are 20 cases in 100000 of population. This is a sizeable number. It is a condition where the blood supply to the femoral head (uppermost part of thigh bone)gets shut off and causes the bone to collapse slowly. As the bone dies, the patient experiences excruciating pain and limited or no movement. Late cases can lead to arthritis of the hips.Stem cell treatment in early cases is a latest advance and has been proposed to prevent the disease from advancing further. If it does so and causes bone collapse,traditionally a total hip replacement has been recommended. We advocate a more conservative approach with a short stem hip replacement. This video explains the key differences between a short stem and total hip replacement. E mail drvenkat@kneeindia.com
