Mom could not make an accurate diagnosis, and we decided to be examined in Korea. I left a request in bookimed. And what surprised immediately rang. I told you how, all the tests that were done, and I was advised by the Ehwa clinic. We immediately agreed and signed up with a mammologist. Everything is clean in the clinic, all doctors, all medical staff are qualified, and very friendly. The translator was with my mother all the time, and he explained everything very clearly. They quickly took the tests, and immediately established a diagnosis, they said it was necessary to do the operation. The operation lasted 5 hours (general preparation, etc.) after the operations in the clinic 10 days. They did everything neatly, everything had almost healed. I am satisfied with the clinic and the medical coordinators of Bookimed. Thank you all very much!

FAQ about Hip replacement in Republic of Korea

How is the preparation for hip replacement?

Preparing for a hip implant placement includes:

  • medical examination and history taking;
  • x-ray, CT or MRI of the area where the operation will take place;
  • laboratory blood tests.

How is a hip arthroplasty performed?

Doctors plan a hip replacement surgery using a 3D imaging system. It allows you to choose the optimal shape, size and position of the implant, taking into account the structural features of the thigh. The course of the procedure depends on the method of its implementation:

 

Traditional hip replacement

During traditional arthroplasty , doctors place the implant through a 20-25 cm incision.

Benefits: The cost of a traditional hip replacement is lower than other types of hip replacement.

Disadvantages: during such an operation, the doctor can damage more surrounding tissues than with other types of intervention, so recovery takes 2 times longer. Traditional hip replacement leaves a large visible scar.

 

Minimally invasive hip replacement surgery

With minimally invasive endoprosthetics, the doctor installs the implant through a 5-8 cm incision.

Advantages: during such an intervention, the doctor damages less surrounding tissues than during an open procedure, so the recovery will be less painful. After the operation, a small scar remains.

Disadvantages: The price of minimally invasive hip replacement surgery is higher than traditional open surgery.

 

AMIS method of hip arthroplasty

During the procedure, the doctor makes an incision in the skin up to 10 cm in front of the thigh, pushes the tissues that surround the joint and installs the prosthesis.

Benefits: AMIS preserves intact muscles and tendons, so recovery is less painful and 2 times faster than after a procedure that requires cutting these tissues.

Disadvantages: not all doctors know this method of arthroplasty.

 

Robotic Hip Replacement ( MAKOplasty )

During robotic arthroplasty, doctors use the MAKOplasty robot. It allows you to install a hip joint implant with an accuracy of 0.1 mm.

Advantages: due to the high accuracy of the installation of the endoprosthesis, the term of its operation is increased and the risk of postoperative complications is minimized.

Disadvantages: not all clinics are equipped with MAKOplasty robots. The cost of such an operation is higher than other types.

How long does a hip replacement surgery take?

The duration of hip replacement surgery depends on the type of procedure. The average duration of the intervention is 1-2 hours.

  • Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that leads to the destruction of joints and surrounding tissues.
  • Osteonecrosis is the death of part of a bone and joint that is caused by insufficient blood supply due to a dislocation or fracture.
  • Joint dysplasia is a violation of the development of the anatomical shape of the joints, as a result of which they do not properly perform their function.

Where is the best place to have a hip arthroplasty?

  • Choose a clinic where the procedure is performed by an experienced orthopedist. It is important that he has at least 1,000 hip arthroplasty procedures on his account. Such a doctor will perform the operation with minimal risk of complications.
