Why Hip Replacement in young patients is now possible: This is because of latest techniques coupled with new age Hip implants. Traditional hip implants generally had a life of about 20-30 years. Which meant the young patient would have to undergo a revision surgery at the age of 40.. However, traditional implants needed a big portion of the femur to gain stability. During revision surgery there is very little portion of the femur left to introduce the new implant. Hence, the end outcome were not to encouraging and often had a limp when walking. Hence, patients had to wait till they were atleast 30 to be eligible for Hip Surgery. Also, Traditional implants were prone to dislocation and highly compromised the quality of life was patients.
With the introduction of latest Anatomical Hip Implant preserves the neck portion of the femur. Hence, following the anteversion of the hip joint. This means the hip implant follows the natural anatomy of the hip joint. This highly reduces the chances of dislocation of the hip implant. While offering higher stability. Consequently, longer life to the implant.
