What is a Transaction?

Total hip arthroplasty is a procedure to completely replace the damaged hip joint. This surgical procedure is performed in cases of severe damage to the hip joint, such as osteoarthritis, hip fractures or infection. This procedure aims to improve the patient’s mobility and reduce pain. With total hip arthroplasty, the hip joint is replaced with a new artificial joint (prosthesis) so that it functions properly.

How is it done?

In our clinic in Çiğli, Izmir, the hip joint is examined in detail with our advanced diagnostic systems supported by artificial intelligence and the most appropriate treatment method is planned. The surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia (the patient is completely asleep). During the procedure, the damaged hip joint surface is removed and replaced with special prosthetic implants made of metal, ceramic or plastic. These prostheses are designed to restore normal movement of the hip joint and reduce pain. After the procedure, the rehabilitation process begins for the patient to regain hip function. In this process, the patient’s mobility and muscle strength are increased by applying physical therapy and exercise programs.

What are the Symptoms?

Patients with hip joint problems may feel the following symptoms:

• Severe Hip Pain: Pain that persists even at rest and makes daily activities difficult.
• Swelling and stiffness of the joint: Swelling and limitation of movement in the hip joint.
• Limitation of Movement: Loss of normal function of the hip joint and difficulty moving.
• Difficulty with daily activities: Pain and limitation of movement when walking, climbing stairs or sitting up and down.
• Deformation and tenderness around the buttocks: Deformity, swelling and tenderness around the buttocks.

What are the Treatment Methods?

• Surgical Intervention: The damaged hip joint is completely removed and replaced with an artificial prosthetic joint. This procedure restores hip function and reduces pain.
• Medication Therapy: Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs are used to control pain and reduce inflammation.
• Physical Therapy: Special exercise programs are applied to increase the mobility of the hip joint and strengthen the muscles.
• Artificial Intelligence Assisted Diagnosis: Artificial intelligence-supported advanced diagnostic systems are used to accurately assess hip joint damage and determine the most appropriate type of prosthesis.

These treatment methods aim to improve the quality of life of patients by effectively solving hip joint problems.
