Total Hip Replacement- Frequently asked questions

 What is Arthritis?

A smooth, slippery, fibrous connective tissue called articular cartilage acts as a protective cushion between bones inside the joints. Arthritis develops as the cartilage begins to deteriorate or because of wear and tear as part of aging or because of disease like Rheumatoid arthritis. As the articular cartilage is lost, joint space between the bones become narrow. This is an early sign of arthritis and can easily be detected using an X-Rays. Slowly over time the bone ends rub against each other and starts to wear away. This results in progressive pain and shortening. Normal activities like walking and running becomes painful and difficult.

Common arthritis symptoms include pain, stiffness, and some loss of joint motion, deformity, limp and shortening of limb

Who develops arthritis?

• Primary osteoarthritis typically affects people over 50 years of age and above, but nowadays it is commonly seen at younger ages also.
• It is more common in persons who are overweight or obese, or suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis or Ankylosing spondylitis. In some patients arthritis tends to run in families and can be genetic.
• Other factors that can contribute to developing arthritis include injuries (Acetabulum fracture or after fracture neck of femur), developmental abnormalities like dysplastic hip and Perthe’s disease
