What are the symptoms after total hip arthroplasty

summary

My neighbor likes riding a horse very much. He often goes to practice. As a result, he falls down accidentally. He has been feeling uncomfortable since he underwent hip replacement surgery in the hospital. After going to the hospital for examination, he comes back with medicine and takes it. Now he is getting better. Today, let me talk about the symptoms after total hip arthroplasty.

What are the symptoms after total hip arthroplasty

Symptom 1: the common complications of hip replacement are: 1. The upper femur was ruptured. 2。 Dislocation of artificial hip joint. 3。 Severe pain. 4。 Infected. 5。 Prosthesis loosening. It's also very important to pay attention to proper exercise, more sun exposure and continue symptomatic treatment. Long term maintenance and rest.

Symptom 2: if the hip joint surface is not damaged, such as the joint surface is still very smooth, no rough surface, etc., after hip replacement, it can return to the normal range of motion, and there will be no pain and other symptoms. But you had a dislocation of the hip 30 years ago, and after so many years of friction, I don't know if you have damaged the joint surface.

Symptom 3: guide the patient to contract quadriceps femoris and extend ankle joint three days after operation. Two weeks after operation, the patients were instructed to do passive hip and knee flexion. Four weeks after the operation, the traction was released, and the functional exercise of the affected hip joint could be carried out under the support of double crutches, so as to ensure that the affected limb does not bear weight, hip joint abduction, adduction, external rotation, straight leg lifting and other operations.

matters needing attention

The range of motion of artificial joint is limited. Excessive flexion, adduction and internal rotation of hip joint will cause dislocation. Patients need to pay special attention to avoid dislocation. Artificial joint replacement has the advantages of better joint movement, early ambulation and reducing the complications of long-term bedridden elderly patients.
