Hip Replacement Experiences

hip replacement experiences
All the smart ones are here, yes, wrong category, but If you have had a hip replacement, would you share?

I’m sorry, yes, I know wrong heading, but all the good minds visit this category, and not the others…. I am facing a hip replacement, and if you or someone you know has had one, would you share your experiences? (I’m scared pea green.) Also, could you make it so I could contact you and discuss the doc who did it, his education, hospital care you received, etc. I live in a small town, and know I will have to travel so as long as I am on a plane, it can be anywhere. Thanks in advance, guys. Really appreciate you information…

I have had both of my hips replaced in separate surgeries several months apart. That was about 4 years ago. I have recently posted several answers to hip replacement questions. If you go to my profile and look at my list of answers you will find several comments that you may find helpful. (I like to answer questions about this topic but I am beginning to repeat myself.) You may also contact me via email through my profile.

I was scared too as I had never had any kind of surgery before nor had I ever spent any time in a hospital. It was all new to me. I have read everything I could get my hands on about the procedure and I urge you to do the same. Since you ask about choosing a surgeon I will pass along what seems to be the prevailing thought about surgeon choice: it is important that the surgeon do a minimun of 50 hip replacements per year (and the hospital should host a minimum of 100). These recommendations come from the issue of US News & World Report cited below. It is also important that your surgeon is fellowship trained. This means that he/she spent additional time after completing his residency in advanced training in a specialty such as adult joint reconstruction. In addition, the OS should have done lots of surgeries on people like you with the problems that you have. It goes without saying that the OS should be someone you trust.

I had no choice of surgeon as I have HMO insurance. I am delighted with my results. I went from a person who could not walk without a cane or crutch (and was close to needing a wheelchair) to someone who has no limp, no pain, takes no pain meds, and can walk miles.

I was 4 days in the hospital for each hip. I went directly home and was treated for about two weeks by a home health care nurse and a physical therapist. They visited me about 4 times each. After that I went to outpatient PT. I was asked to give blood for myself prior to each surgery. It didn’t work out so well for the first as my Ht was low after the first unit. I was able to give the required 2 units before surgery #2. I was transfused with my own blood within a day following surgery.

I was pleased with my care at the hospital (in a small midwestern city). They have lots of joint replacement surgeries and had a program all worked out for hippies to follow, printed out in a notebook giving the patient and family a schedule for what would happen every day of the stay. This gave the procedure a sense of “routine” and I found that somehow comforting.

I had general anesthesia for both surgeries. I had thought I wanted an epidural but the anesthetist convinced me that I didn’t. For the 2nd hip, I actually asked for general. Aside from a short bout of nausea, I was fine. This would be something to discuss with your surgeon and anesthesia staff when the time comes.

I was intimidated by the surgeon and his manner. However, I didn’t hire him to be nice and friendly (although it wouldn’t have killed him). I hired him to fix my hips and he did that. I didn’t have a choice of prosthesis. Knowing what I know now (which is probably way more than the average hip patient knows) I would have definitely asked about ceramic bearings. I am not that young but if having ceramic would make it more likely that my hips will outlive me, I might even pay extra for it. As it was I got metal/poly.

As important or more important than what hardware the OS uses on you, is the skill of the surgeon. The latest hardware and techniques mean little if they aren’t installed correctly. So worry less about hardware, mini incisions, computer imaging, resurfacing, metal or ceramic or poly, blah, blah, blah, and find yourself a good surgeon.

Other matters: I could drive at 5-6 weeks after each hip. I discovered that the arthritis pain was gone immediately after surgery. They got me up and walking within hours after surgery. You may have precautions imposed for a period of time. These will be frustrating but need not be forever. In the early hours, you may wonder why you let someone do this to you. You will worry about dislocating. You may be surprised at how well you do. There may be swelling of the thigh and leg on the operated side. This is temporary and abates. You may be given some kind of prophylactic measures to prevent DVT and blood clots. These measures can include a drug, special TED sox or a device that massages the legs. Moving around and walking are another good way to prevent clots so the sooner you are up and moving, the better.

I had one radiation treatment on day 2 with my second hip (but not the first) to prevent HO (heterotopic ossification), something that the OS said he noted during the surgery. It was uncomfortable but it apparently worked because I never got HO. This is not a common treatment but certain people are more vulnerable to it (and it can be quite painful and crippling if it develops). It’s easier to prevent it than to try to dig it out later.

I could go on, but will stop by saying that THR is one of the most successful surgeries done today in terms of how it relieves pain and restores function in people who would otherwise end up in wheelchairs, burdens to their families and society.

Six Reasons For Making Thailand Your Medical Tourism Destination

In recent years, 1.4 million international patients have received medical treatment in Thailand, and the number is increasing annually.  Among those coming to Thailand, almost 200,000 people per year come from the USA, and nearly 100,000 patients arrive from the UAE.

 

No matter where you go in Thailand, medical tourism offers a wide array of procedures. The country has earned a reputation for dependable and affordable treatments and services, including massage centers, spas and wellness clinics and retreats, as well as surgical procedures such as laser, cosmetic, and cardiovascular.. Thailand’s high standards and healthcare expertise make it a world leader in medical tourism, while the options for a post-medical treatment holiday are the best in the world.

 

If you ask those patients who have received healthcare in Thailand, they will give you the same reasons why, summarized in these “Six Reasons to Make Thailand Your Medical Tourism Destination”.

 

1.Thailand features internationally accredited medical facilities


Hospitals and other medical facilities in Thailand pride themselves on their high standards, and many have subjected their premises and systems to the most rigorous inspections by applying for accreditation and certification, whereby a qualified standards organization – distinct from the healthcare organization under review – assesses the hospital or facility to determine if it meets a set of standards and requirements designed to improve the quality of patient care.  This voluntary process provides a tangible and visible commitment by the hospital to continually ensure a safe environment for its patients and staff.

 

Thailand was the first country in Asia to achieve JCI accreditation in 2002, and 13 hospitals are now accredited:

  • Bangkok Heart Hospital
  • Bangkok Hospital Medical Center
  • Bangkok Hospital Pattaya
  • Bangkok Hospital Phuket
  • BNH Hospital
  • Bumrungrad International
  • Chiangmai Ram Hospital
  • Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital
  • Samitivej Sriracha Hospital
  • Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital
  • Synphaet Hospital
  • Wattanosoth Cancer Hospital
  • Vejthani Hospital

 

JCI sets Clinical Care Program Certification standards (CCPC), which are awarded to institutions demonstrating excellence in fostering better outcomes in specific clinical care services or treatment of specific diseases and conditions. Four Thai hospitals have received CCPC certificates:

 

  • Bangkok Hospital Medical Center (acute coronary syndrome, breast cancer conserving therapy, heart failure, primary stroke)
  • Bumrungrad International (primary stroke, acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation)
  • Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital (low back pain, primary stroke)
  • Samitivej Sukhumvit Hospital (lung cancer, acute myocardial infarction, knee osteoarthritis)

 

Additionally, many Thai hospitals use Hospital Accreditation (HA), a four-stage process that combines self-assessment and peer assessment to judge performance levels against established standards and identify methods of improvement.

 

2.Thailand’s medical professionals  are highly qualified

 

In addition to Thailand’s leading medical facilities achieving the highest international standards, so do the individuals who work in them. The physicians, surgeons and nurses have been trained to the highest levels, while many specialists have been conducting research and gaining experience at the world’s best medical institutes with some even leading the field in which they specialise.

 

Many Thai doctors and surgeons practicing today have won awards for their work, and more than 500 doctors practicing in Thai hospitals are American Board Certified. These medical professionals are skilled at providing the highest quality medical treatment.

 

3. Cost saving


The cost of medical treatments in Thailand is significantly lower compared to identical treatments in the West and other developed parts of the world.

 

Some comparisons include: the US $130,000 cost of a heart bypass in the United States, which can be performed by skilled and qualified doctors at a Thai hospital for only US $11,000.

 

A hip or knee replacement in the US cost $43,000 and $40,000 respectively, but only $12,000 and $10,000 in Thailand.

 

A spinal fusion procedure in the US averages $62,000 and in Thailand only $7,000.

 

Even most cosmetic treatments are around 50% less expensive in Thailand than in the US, where breast enlargements costs around $3,500-4,000 as opposed to $2,600-$3,200 in Thailand.

 

A facelift in the United States costs about $4,500-5,000 compared to $2,400 in Thailand.

 

Liposuction is $2,500-3,000 in the US and $1,200 in Thailand; and a Hair Transplant, which is more than $4,000 in the US, is between $1,000 and $2,000 in Thailand.

 

Even greater savings are available for those opting for dental treatments in Thailand rather than the USA.  Tooth whitening in America costs around $1,000, ten times more expensive than the $100 charged in Thailand, while a root canal that costs between $500 and $2,000 in the USA, costs only approximately $150 in Thailand.

 

4. No waiting lists


One of the great advantages of receiving medical treatment in Thailand is the ease with which appointments for treatment can be arranged.  Thai hospitals have numerous operating theaters and enough qualified surgeons that there is little, if any, waiting for scheduling even the most complex and invasive procedures.

 

5. Thailand’s medical technology is state-of-the-art


All of Thailand’s leading hospitals feature state-of-the-art technology that helps them provide the highest degree of medical treatment and service. Equipment includes:

  • Siemens Biograph 64 PET/CT, which is superior to other CT and MRI machines in early cancer detection and diagnosis.
  • Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), which is the most accurate method for targeting radiation to cancerous tumors, and R2 CAD ImageChecker that has 6-20% higher breast cancer detection rates than standard CAD digital mammography, allowing more accurate early detection and reducing the incidences of false positives.
  • Blood Marrow Stem Cell Transplant, a complex medical treatment program that can offer a cure for many otherwise incurable blood or bone marrow diseases and certain cancers in adults and children.
  • Gamma Knife Surgery, which allows for non-invasive brain surgery using highly targeted gamma radiation.
  • The da Vinci Surgical System, which uses robotics to translate a surgeon’s natural hand movements to apply less invasive incisions with unprecedented precision during heart surgery.
  • 256-slice Multi-detector CT Scan, which is faster and yields far higher resolution images than other CT Scanners.
  • CARTO SOUND Module for identifying and treating arrhythmias with unprecedented precision and confidence.
  • Endovascular and Interventional Radiology for treatment of veins and arteries using DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography).
  • Uterine Fibroid Embolization, which is a minimal-invasive procedure used to remove fibroid tumors in the uterus without general anesthesia.
  • Digital Mammogram, which allows more accurate diagnosis and earlier discovery, particularly in women under 50.
  • Greenlight PVP Laser to precisely target prostate tissue with a high-powered laser beam, a procedure often performed in an out-patient setting.
  • Novalis Shaped Beam Surgery System for non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic radiotherapy to destroy diseased tissue or cauterize a problem area without affecting healthy adjacent tissue.
  • 4D Ultrasound operating at a speed of 25 volumes per second.
  • MRI – Intera Achieva 3.0T MRI, which yields the information necessary to discover blood circulation abnormalities and is particularly useful in the early detection of brain cancer.
  • IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy), which is an innovative cancer treatment that utilizes ionizing radiation in the treatment of malignant tumors.
  • Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) that enables images such as x-rays and scans to be stored electronically, so that doctors and radiologists can access an image and compare it with previous images from anywhere in the hospital.

 

Many hospitals also make use of fully automated drug management systems, picture archiving, and communication systems to ensure that administration and communication are as seamless as the treatments themselves.

 

6.Thailand offers excellent service


Thais are proud that their national character has won them a well-deserved reputation for their compassion and warm hospitality, and that’s why the country is nicknamed “The Land of Smiles”. Patients become so at ease that they feel almost like a guest on holiday from the moment they arrive at the hospital.

 

The level of service excellence is virtually unprecedented in the world and many patients and visitors are pleasantly surprised to find hospitals in Thailand with excellent restaurants, coffee shops, and personalized room service not seen or experienced anywhere else in the world. The hospitals themselves offer facilities found usually only in 5-star hotels, and patients from anywhere in the world can enjoy immaculate private rooms, translation services, room service, including Halal prepared cuisine, and access to prayer facilities of their chosen faith.

 

All patients can enjoy healthcare and nursing of the highest standards – standards actually set by some Thai hospitals over the years – and Thai nurses, physicians, surgeons, and therapists never forget the most fundamental element in a complete treatment and swift recovery: namely, a warm and caring human touch. Staff are truly friendly and considerate to the needs of all their patients, and they will do everything to make you feel relaxed and confident in the treatments you have selected.

 

Thai hospitals feature 24-hour nursing care, and staff are experienced in assisting foreign patients, with more than 30 hospitals employing specialized English speaking staff and many providing translators in a wide variety of foreign languages, including Arabic, Bengali, French, German, Korean, Mandarin, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese.

 

Only in Thailand can patients also opt for recovery from their treatment outside of the hospital combining treatment with a holiday. A hospital will provide a medical escort service wherever the patient chooses to vacation, ensuring expert, qualified and comprehensive medical care and attention while recovering by the beach or in the mountains of Thailand.

 

In all aspects of medical tourism, Thailand’s professionalism and accumulated experience guarantee you are in good hands.

What is All the Talk About Attraction Marketing and How Does it Really Work?

With the continual change of internet marketing many marketers have modified the way they sell online and have begun using “attraction marketing”. The internet has developed its own terms or language to include a new way of marketing. Of course when a new trend appears, a clever phrase or word is invented and it gets “talked up” so that we are considered hip or in the know.

Attraction marketing has become just that new trend phrase for an old idea and has re-emerged as the “hot” strategy for selling online. Attraction marketing includes a couple different processes.

The first process is pre-selling and how you do it right?

The easiest example of pre-selling is as follows: The phone book yellow pages. I can hear you saying, “WHAT?” But it is true. I bet right now you have your copy on a shelf or stuffed in a desk drawer. I also bet you never flip through it just to read the ads… but when you need it – you pull it off the shelf and look for that specific product, company or service you need. Right? Thought so.

Please realize that the phone book yellow pages did not sell you anything. You initiated the sale yourself. This just happens to be the very first part of attraction marketing ~ the customer initiates the sale. Another example would be an auto parts store. Simply put they sell auto parts but many also do auto repairs so while the customer is shopping for parts he is also shown that auto repairs are available too. So the customer has the ability to ask questions he might have concerning a needed repair. By doing this the customer is attracted to the store. Your specific area is auto parts, information is given for free, and the customer begins to show loyalty to the auto parts store. In the end this is called attraction marketing. The auto parts store does not need to do cold calls, send out fliers, or hold a special sale… the customers are simply attracted to them.

Many internet guru’s will try to lay claim to inventing attraction marketing but they are wrong. One good example to prove my point would be the local enclosed shopping mall. In the 70′s shopping malls were the neatest thing around. Soon they became a hang out place to be seen. A place to meet other people. Or a place to exercise by walking when the doctor says to walk but the weather is cold. Shopping malls encouraged these types of activities by having free concerts, offering your child’s picture with Santa and other subtle attraction marketing ideas.

With the development of the internet, like the shopping mall, it has become a place to meet to exchange views. And as the internet grew with adding graphics and interactivity, and games it began to chip away at the shopping malls place. Today’s internet browsing person goes to the internet to meet people, have fun and learn new things. With the entrance of Google the internet quickly replaced the Yellow Pages. People began searching for auto parts and repairs online and it was not long before the business owners took notice.

Businesses began using attraction marketing on the internet.

Business owners were quick to see their customer base shrinking and attributed it to the internet. It was not long before business owners began using the internet to market to a larger customer base. Soon they found that there was also loyalty and these customers came back to shop again and again when the customer was provided products and services that were easy to find.

In the end everyone uses attraction marketing to win customers and then to keep them.

To a business owner the biggest bonus is in advertising. No longer did they have to advertise in several printed publications in their local area. Now they were able to market to anyone worldwide. Attraction marketing pulls the customers to the business owners site. These customers would be more qualified because they are looking for the product the business owner is selling. This streamlines the customer base to people interested in your product or service.

Attraction marketing has become a staple to not only big business but to small business to. It is here to stay because it works!

Use attraction marketing to attract more customers but make sure your system is strong enough to handle the increase.

Knee And Hip Replacement Games

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

One of the main reasons why a person needs hip hip would have increased his incorrectly. This may be something that can come from many different factors. Any person having any of these conditions will be a good candidate for a hip replacement.

A person who has developed a bone tumor in the hip region can be a person who may be eligible for this type of surgery. A bone tumor can develop in elderly people. It may be something that may be cancer, but in other cases it may be harmless. It may still be something that can be embarrassing.

When a bone tumor is present, the cartilage in the area may be affected. This is what can not be used for the new shape of the bone. In addition to this tumor can affect blood flow in the area of bone. This can cause the cartilage to weaken. When one of these things happens, the bones become painful.

Another disorder of bone growth is aware of Paget's disease. It is a disease common among the elderly community. It is a virus in the bone can grow. When this happens the bones become more susceptible to fractures. Also this level, the mobility will be affected. Blood flow in the area may also be compromised.

Hip replacement is usually the best thing can be used in the treatment of these conditions when they occur around the hip. It all goes to how bone growth disorders, a person may have may be unusable. Simply remove the affected area and its replacement may be the best treatment for your needs.

Hip Replacement Young

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

hip replacement young
I need hip replacement surgery and want to know how to find references/backround on a surgeion. what to do?

I am young to have this surgery, but I am nervous. Please someone give me good advice… thanx. oops, mean surgeon, lol!
I just have to say, you 2 gave great advice. I do want to explain, I do not want to find a dr. that does this type of surgery, I want to find out if he/she has had any formal complaints against them. I really do not think there is a way to look that up. I checked the sites, but to no avail. Unless I am doing something wrong. I, too, get CR, but not the health report. That was a great article you sent me. Thanx loads. Tweety, I will try your link again, but I did run into a brick wall.. And Kraftee, great advice, really great advice. Thanx to both of you, very, very, much, but bear with me, I want to leave the question open for just a bit longer. OK? will tell ya more later……….You gals were GREAT!! Give yourselves a pat on the back! – Lauren

Begin by looking for a surgeon who is board certified in orthopedic surgery. In addition, look for one who has done a fellowship in adult joint reconstruction and who does lots of hips in patients like you. Also pay attention to the hospital that the surgeon uses since they will be responsible for your care after the surgery. The following is summarized from an article that appears in the current issue of “Consumer Reports On Health” Feb 2009, pp.1, 4-5 entitled “Smarter hip and knee repair”.

A recent study published in the “Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery” indicates that patients are reluctant to ask probing questions when interviewing surgeons and that this can affect joint replacement outcome. Here are some Qs to ask:
How often in the past year have you performed this surgery? (more than 50 is what you’re looking for)
What kinds of joints are used and what is the surgeon’s complication rate?
Ask about the volume of hip replacements done at the hospital that the surgeon would use. High volume can mean a more experienced staff. Ask about the hospital’s infection rate. Ideally it should be 1% or less.
What are the plans for pain management?
What are the plans for rehabilitation? You want to get moving sooner rather than later.

If you are not satisfied with the reponses you receive to questions such as these, consider getting a second opinion.

Take someone else with you when you interview surgeons. They don’t have to speak but they can take notes for you. Prepare your list of Qs ahead of time.

You say you are young so at least ask about ceramic bearings instead of metal/poly bearings. If metal/metal bearing is recommended (such as a resurfacing procedure instead of total replacement) and you are a female of child-bearing age, ask about the issue of metal ions in the body. Ask about resurfacing. Although all surgeons don’t do resurfs and although the procedure is controversial, it never hurts to get their opinion. A resurf could preserve your bone and allow you to postpone the total replacement for several years.

Don’t get hung up on issues such as the size of the incision (it doesn’t matter that much and there is evidence that the complication rate may be higher with very small incisions).

FInd out the kind of anesthesia to be used. While either general or epidural/spinal anesthesia work fine, you may be allowed to choose. My surgeon didn’t care so I did my own research and made my own choice. Gave me a sense of control in a situation where I didn’t have much. Ask whether you will be donating blood before surgery to re-infuse after. I did this for one surgery but don’t think it is a universal practice these days and has drawbacks (such as making your count low even before you go under the knife). The advantage of self-donating is that you get your own blood back instead of taking blood from the blood bank. I also took blood from the blood bank for my second surgery – I was too anemic to donate for myself.

Luck to you.

Added comment: Laurel, availability of information on doctor disciplinary actions varies from state to state. If you give us the state in which your doctor practices it would help determine whether, how much and what kind of information is available to the public (online) in that state. Keep in mind that getting info on lawsuits filed does not tell you anything. Most doctors are sued eventually.
