Is a surgical procedure in which the damaged cartilage is removed from the hip bones, and is replaced by an artificial joint.\u00a0A healthy hip looks like a mortar and pestle.\u00a0The Femoral head enters the Acetabulum, and together they form the hip joint.\u00a0Hip replacement surgery is one of the most common, and most successful, orthopedic surgeries, in existence today.<\/p>\n

The surgery is generally performed on people with advanced disease of the hip joint, which causes wide-spread damage to its cartilage surfaces. The foremost reason for this situation is a disease called osteoarthrosis (also known as osteoarthritis). The disease becomes more widespread as age advances, and can be expressed in a joint, damaged since birth, as a result of trauma to the joint, a rheumatic disease or necrosis of the femoral head.<\/p>\n

The direct anterior approach (DAA) is a new approach, which speeds up the recuperation, and saves the patient many restrictions after the surgery, which would be the case in surgery with a more traditional approach.<\/p>\n
The principal difference between the traditional approaches to hip replacement surgery, and the new anterior approach, is that with the anterior approach there is no need to detach the muscles around the hip joint, in order to replace it.<\/p>\n
The new surgical method causes less trauma to the body. The muscular cover surrounding the hip joint is maintained, and so, after the implanting of the artificial joint, we receive a more stable joint than with more traditional approaches.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the fact that the surgery takes place while the patient is lying on his back, allows the surgical team, throughout the whole surgery, to assess the length of the legs, and so, significantly decrease the need to raise the shorter lag.<\/p>\n
With the patient lying in a supine position (on his back), an incision is made 8 \u2013 12 cm long in the front part of the hip.<\/p>\n

The structure of the artificial implant greatly reminds one of the natural joint. In most surgery, we shall use implants with no cement (bone cement). The implants that we use are among the best of their type in the world. Made from titanium, they placed into the bone, and become the \u201cgo-between\u201d between the bone and the gliding surface. The outer section of the titanium is built from a layer of tiny pores, which come into close contact with the bone, and so allow the growth of the bone into the implant, and its transformation into an integral part of the bone.<\/p>\n
The gliding surfaces are built from a ceramic head instead of a polyethylene polymer. In some instances, a ceramic gliding surface can be used instead of a ceramic cup.<\/p>\n
