Hip replacement surgery has become an effective treatment for femoral head necrosis, a serious complication of femoral bone diseases. Femoral head necrosis can lead to secondary osteoarthritis, head collapse, severe acetabular degeneration, and susceptibility to femoral neck fractures. Traditional hip replacement surgery was once considered risky and required extended hospital stays of 5-7 days. However, with modern minimally invasive techniques, patients can now leave the hospital after just one night stay post-surgery and may even be discharged the next day.
Minimally invasive surgical techniques such as DAA, ABMS, Bikini, and Superpath incisions reduce procedure time, soft tissue damage, and blood loss. Additionally, patients require less general anesthesia and are mainly anesthetized using regional techniques, improving pain control and natural recovery post-surgery. Improved physical therapy and rehabilitation protocols allow patients to stand up and walk within hours after surgery, facilitating faster recovery and reducing complications.
Outpatient hip replacement surgery offers a faster, more convenient, and effective treatment option for patients with femoral head necrosis. Not all patients are suitable candidates for outpatient surgery
