Hip Fracture Fixation / Replacement
Hip Screws
Hip screws, also known as hip fixation screws or dynamic hip screws (DHS), are orthopedic devices commonly used in the surgical treatment of certain hip fractures, particularly those involving the proximal femur (the upper part of the thigh bone). These screws are designed to stabilize the fractured bone and promote proper healing.
Hip IM Nail
A hip intramedullary (IM) nail, also known as a hip nail or femoral nail, is an orthopedic implant used to treat fractures of the femur (thigh bone) in the hip region. It’s a common surgical intervention for stabilizing certain types of hip fractures, particularly those in the shaft of the femur, the long bone that runs from the hip to the knee. The IM nail is inserted into the medullary canal of the femur (the hollow interior of the bone) to provide stability and promote proper healing.
Hip DHS / Plate
A Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) with a side plate is a common orthopedic implant and surgical technique used to treat certain types of hip fractures, specifically those involving the proximal femur (the upper part of the thigh bone) near the hip joint. The DHS system consists of a specially designed screw and a side plate that work together to stabilize the fractured bone and promote proper healing.
Hip Replacement Total / Partial
Hip replacement surgery, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a common orthopedic procedure performed to treat severe hip joint pain and dysfunction caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fractures, and other hip joint disorders. There are two main types of hip replacement surgeries: total hip replacement (THR) and partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty).
