Plastic Joint

There are many different causes of pain in the hip joint. These include primary osteoarthritis, or secondary arthritis due to fractures dislocations, rheumatoid arthritis; and osteonecrosis (AVN) (restricted blood flow to the bone).
In a total hip replacement surgery, the painful parts of the damaged hip are replaced with artificial hip parts called prosthesis, a device that substitutes a joint. The prosthesis consists of metal components: a socket, ball, and stem. The outer shell of the socket is usually made of metal and the inner shell consists of plastic, or ceramic: or the entire socket may be plastic. Patients suffering from a variety of hip disorders are regularly treated at Mittal Nursing Home. Special importance is given to thorough analysis, treatment procedure, and use of sophisticated medical equipment.
