  3. Hip replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_replacement

    A total hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty or THA) consists of replacing both the acetabulum and the femoral head while hemiarthroplasty generally only replaces the femoral head. Hip replacement is one of the most common orthopaedic operations, though patient satisfaction varies widely.

  4. Hip resurfacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_resurfacing

    The hip resurfacing devices are metal-on-metal articulating devices which differ from total hip replacement devices because they are more bone conserving and retain the natural geometry (so-called large ball THR devices share this trait).

  5. Dynamic hip screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_hip_screw

    Dynamic hip screw (DHS) or Sliding Screw Fixation is a type of orthopaedic implant designed for fixation of certain types of hip fractures which allows controlled dynamic sliding of the femoral head component along the construct. [citation needed] It is the most commonly used implant for extracapsular fractures of the hip, [1] which are common ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosthesis

    A prosthesis is a functional replacement for an amputated or congenitally malformed or missing limb. Prosthetists are responsible for the prescription, design, and management of a prosthetic device. In most cases, the prosthetist begins by taking a plaster cast of the patient's affected limb.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_replacement

    Hip replacement can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi (half) replacement. A total hip replacement consists of replacing both the acetabulum and the femoral head while hemiarthroplasty generally only replaces the femoral head. Hip replacement is currently the most common orthopaedic operation, though patient satisfaction short- and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot-assisted_surgery

    ROBODOC is the first active robotic system that performs some of the surgical actions in a total hip arthroplasty (THA). It is programmed preoperatively using data from computer tomography (CT) scans. This allows for the surgeon to choose the optimal size and design for the replacement hip.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-molecular...

    UHMWPE has a clinical history as a biomaterial for use in hip, knee, and (since the 1980s), for spine implants. An online repository of information and review articles related to medical grade UHMWPE, known as the UHMWPE Lexicon, was started online in 2000. Joint replacement components have historically been made from "GUR" resins.

  10. Hip prosthesis zones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_prosthesis_zones

    After hip replacement, hip prosthesis zones are regions in the interface between prosthesis material and the surrounding bone. These are used as reference regions when describing for example complications including hip prosthesis loosening on medical imaging.
