Arthritis Of The Hip
The term arthritis literally means “inflammation of the joint”. Arthritis is one of the most common causes of pain and stiffness in the hip. It can make it hard to do everyday activities like bending over to tie a shoe, rising from a chair, or taking a short walk. Arthritis is a progressive disorder, which means that it typically starts gradually and gets worse with time.
Types of Arthritis
There are five main types of arthritis that can affect the hip joint. They are:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Psoriatic arthritis
Proxima Hip Replacement
The Proxima Hip Replacement is also ideal for young patients. In this minimally-invasive procedure, the part of thighbone at the point where it begins is shaped and replaced by a metal head. This sits in a metal cup that is fitted into the socket.
The Proxima hip is an example of a short stem hip replacement. It is implanted in the metaphysic or upper part of the femur. The Proxima hip is a bone preserving prosthesis as it preserves the neck portion. It is versatile as it can be combined with a range of bearing materials like ceramic, metal, polyethene.
One of the indications is post-traumatic arthritis following a malunited acetabular fracture. Other indications are avascular necrosis, ankylosing, Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis. As you know short stem femoral components can be used with a range of bearing materials like metal, ceramic, oxinium.
