Hip Pain Treatment
One of the main weight-bearing joints in the body is the hip. The hip sacrifices the degree of motion for greater stability, unlike the elbow. A complicated network of bones, cartilage, muscles, ligaments and tendons must all function in unison to keep it going smoothly. Explains Dr. Pranjel Pipara the best ACL Surgeon/Orthopedic Surgeon in Gujarat,India
The hip is a joint of the ball and socket where the femur’s head articulates with the pelvic bone’s cuplike acetabulum. The acetabulum fits securely around the femur’s head. Usually, the ball is retained in the socket by very tight ligaments that form a full sleeve around the joint (the joint capsule). There is a delicate lining on the capsule (the synovium). Explains Dr. Pranjel Pipara the best ACL Surgeon/Orthopedic Surgeon in Gujarat,India
A layer of smooth cartilage, which is a very soft white material, protects the head of the femur. The socket is lined with cartilage as well. This cartilage cushions the joint and causes very little pressure for the bones to pass on each other. Explains Dr. Pranjel Pipara the best ACL Surgeon/Orthopedic Surgeon in Gujarat,India
As the cartilage does not appear on x-rays, an x-ray of the hip joint typically reveals a “space” between the ball and the socket.
Hip joint arthritis
The word arthritis simply implies joint inflammation, but is commonly used to describe any condition in which cartilage damage occurs.
Total Replacement Hip (THR)
The Complete Hip Replacement (THR) operation replaces an artificial implant (prosthesis) with all or part of the hip joint to restore joint mobility. Learn more about Absolute Hip Replacement click here
