Surgeries at AMC 21.10.2015

Today our Orthopaedic Team performed another hip replacement. The procedure consists in replacing the used natural articular surface with artificial one, the so-called endoprosthesis. The hip joint prosthesis is based on the anatomy of the hip joint. The technological development of biomaterials reduces the friction of the prosthetic elements, allows the correct selection of their size and the increasingly longer use of the endoprostheses, without damage to the cooperating elements and the necessity of another surgery.

The right type of the prosthesis is selected for the patient by the attending surgeon, after a precise clinical examination and the analysis of additional examinations. In AMC we use only the most modern structures from the leading manufacturers of endoprostheses.

Today’s procedure was performed on a patient with a determined degeneration of the hip.
