What are the causes of pain after total hip replacement?

There are many causes of pain after total hip surgery, but a longer duration of pain may cause pain sensitization and neuralgia. If you want to relieve this pain, you can use Debernine lidocaine gel patch, its main ingredient lidocaine can inhibit the opening of sodium ion channels, reduce sodium ion influx, inhibit ectopic discharge, inhibit peripheral sensitization and prevent central sensitization, which is a pain relief method of topical patch, compared with oral painkillers, not only does it work quickly, but also the pain is smaller, and it is easier for patients to accept.

There are many causes of pain after hip surgery, among which prolonged pain can lead to pain sensitization and the formation of neuralgia. To reduce this pain, you can use Delberin Lidocaine gel cream. Its main ingredient, lidocaine, can inhibit the opening of sodium ion channels, reduce sodium ion flux and inhibit ectopic discharge; Inhibition of peripheral sensitization and prevention of central sensitization is a pain-relieving method of topical plasters, which are more acceptable to patients than oral analgesics, which not only have a fast onset of action, but also have less pain and ***.

Hip replacement surgery carries surgical risks. Intraoperative damage to blood vessels can lead to massive bleeding, and injury to the sciatic nerve can lead to weakness, numbness, and foot drop on one side of the affected limb. Femoral axial fracture, postoperative prosthesis loosening, hip dislocation, venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, etc.

Elderly patients have poor constitution and wounds do not heal easily. In addition, severe cases can be complicated by wound infection, which can lead to perennial wounds. All surgeries have risks. Doctors should take each patient seriously and minimize complications.

There are certain advantages and disadvantages to hip replacement. The advantage is, hip replacement.

The surgery can quickly restore the patient's hip function and replace the non-disabled hip joint. The disadvantages are: After hip replacement surgery, some patients may experience complications such as infection, loosening, dislocation, or osteolysis. All prosthetic installers have certain drawbacks.

Patients can weigh the pros and cons before **. So, what are the risks of hip replacement? If you look at the chart below, this is just the main risk.

Doctors were able to list as many of the main problems that have occurred at home and abroad as many decades as possible (alas, because of the medical environment). Therefore, signing the surgical consent form requires more than half an hour of communication with the patient.

What are the particular risks? So the special risk, the particular risk, is that the necrosis of the femoral head in hip replacement is different from other surgeries, it happens less, it happens more. In fact, there are many specific risks such as infection, loose joints, joint dislocations, congenital fractures, unequal legs, deep vein thrombosis, and ectopic ossification.

Let me single out two of the more important ones here, one is infection and the other is deep vein thrombosis.

What are the countermeasures after the problem: according to the problem at different stages, according to different infectious microorganisms, different methods are adopted, including antibiotic conservatism, preserving prosthesis debridement, revision surgery, and open surgery. Of course, how to choose these measures is a matter that doctors need to consider carefully, and doctors also have evidence-based medical evidence as a reference to guide**, so that patients do not have to worry.

Listen to the doctor or who to say. International and domestic applications have been carried out for many years, there are pros and cons, whether to change the joint according to your own situation, listen to the doctor's explanation, and decide for yourself. No matter what kind of surgery there are complications, surgical accidents, anesthesia accidents.

The development of modern medicine has treated many patients, and how many patients have left their families without treatment. How so? But science still needs to develop.

It may cause cardiac or respiratory arrest, it may cause pulmonary embolism, and then it may affect blood vessels, nerves, joints, hip infections, and paralysis.

There will be a lot of accidents, because all surgeries have certain risks, anesthesia will have accidents, and cardiovascular diseases can lead to organ failure, which can lead to massive bleeding, can damage nerves, and lead to necrosis of the femoral head.

The risk is that a failed replacement surgery can cause paralysis, joint damage, unusability of your leg, amputation, or disability of your leg.

There is a risk of pulmonary embolism, even life-threatening. During the operation, important blood vessels, nerves, etc. may be damaged. There is an incision and infection of the hip prosthesis after surgery.

Total hip arthroplasty is a common surgical method for the late stage of femoral head necrosis in clinical practice, with very mature technology and high success rate. Some patients have pain problems after surgery, and the cause of pain can be determined by tracing the medical history and physical examination, and through years of clinical experience, there are two main causes of pain after total hip arthroplasty: 1. Internal causes First of all, we should check whether there are the following iatrogenic causes:

1) Aseptic loosening, loosening of the artificial joint due to impact or instability of fixation. (2) Thigh pain - pain at the tip of the femoral shaft prosthesis, and fractures around the prosthesis. (3) Infection.

4) Bursitis 2. Other diseases To rule out the above iatrogenic problems, it is necessary to suspect whether the pain is caused by other diseases. 1. Spinal stenosis Spinal stenosis is one of the most common diseases that cause hip pain, and it is necessary to carefully differential diagnose. In this part of the case, hip mobility disorder should be **, but occasional combined spinal stenosis is not detected until the patient's range of motion is gradually increased after total hip replacement.

However, such pain has a different characteristic than the pain before surgery. 2. Other degenerative spinal inflammation or sacroiliac joint problems can be identified according to detailed medical history and examination, and can also be confirmed by CT or MRI examination. Through the above introduction, patients should understand that pain symptoms after hip replacement should be found from two aspects**, if it is an internal cause, it must be solved in time, so as not to affect the effect of surgery, if it is caused by other diseases, it means that the surgery is very successful, and the symptoms can be treated by other methods**.

How long does a joint last after a replacement? Care considerations after joint replacement.

Is it normal to still feel pain 3 months after hip replacement?

Necrosis of the femoral head is a disease that seriously affects the mobility of the hip joint, and in severe cases, patients are unable to walk and can only rest in bed. Some patients often choose hip replacement surgery on the advice of their doctor because of the collapse of their femoral head, thinking that this will be the end of the equation once and for all. Is that really the case?

Experts from Sina TCM Femoral Head Necrosis Channel pointed out that with the continuous development of medicine, the shortcomings of hip replacement surgery are constantly being exposed: first, hip surgery uses artificial joints to replace necrotic femoral heads, although it can alleviate symptoms to a certain extent, but hip arthroplasty is not the best method for femoral head necrosis, and due to the poor shock absorption function of artificial joints, avoid walking on uneven and uneven roads after surgery, and cannot walk too far every day, let alone walk with weights. Perform physical work and dancing to prevent the implant from sinking prematurely and developing hip pain. Second, the symptoms of limited mobility after surgery can not be completely relieved, patients can do some simple activities, but can do too many activities, too many activities such as stair climbing, running, mountaineering and other sports will reduce the service life of the prosthesis, the loosening of the prosthesis, because the artificial joint does not have the function of self-repair.

If the prosthesis becomes loose soon after the replacement surgery, the replacement surgery will fail and a second or even third surgery will have to be performed. Third, hip replacement surgery may also cause other complications, leaving sequelae, etc., some patients will have infection, need to prolong the first time, ** is very difficult, and even have to remove the artificial joint, and then carry out joint replacement, and the infection rate of replacement, and the infection rate of replacement, is much higher than the first operation. However, during the surgery, it may cause bone damage in other parts, resulting in a long hospital stay after surgery.

Through the above detailed introduction, you should have a clear understanding of the disadvantages of hip replacement surgery. Patients are reminded that hip replacement surgery should not be considered unless the femoral head collapse is very severe and other methods of femoral head necrosis** are not effective.

The disadvantages of osteonecrosis hip replacement surgery are limited mobility, after undergoing hip replacement surgery, patients with femoral head necrosis cannot do too much activity, too many activities such as stair climbing, running, mountaineering and other sports will reduce the service life of the prosthesis, loosening of the prosthesis, because the artificial joint does not have the function of self-repair If the prosthesis is loosened soon after the replacement surgery, resulting in the failure of the replacement surgery, you have to have a second operation, or even the third surgery, it is recommended that you use a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine**, The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can solve the limitations of traditional surgery, such as high risk, many sequelae, Western medicine treatment of symptoms but not root causes, large treatment, long process of pure Chinese medicine, and slow effect.
