Hip specialists at Duke Orthopaedics offer innovative total hip replacement procedures for patients with unmanageable hip pain whose cartilage has been damaged by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip bone necrosis, or hip fracture.
- Total hip joint replacement surgery: In a total hip replacement procedure, or total hip arthroplasty, a surgeon replaces cartilage that has deteriorated beyond repair with an implant that the doctor selects to best meet the patient’s needs. Duke offers numerous approaches to total hip replacement surgery, including anterior hip replacement, posterior hip replacement, and computer-assisted hip replacement.
- Free vascularized bone graft for the hip: In a free vascularized fibular graft, the surgeon removes dead bone from the hip (osteonecrosis) and replaces it with healthy bone and a new blood supply, thus preserving the patient’s native hip joint.
- Hip resurfacing: In hip resurfacing, surgeons shape the cap of the femur to accept the hip resurfacing implant, which allows more of the original femur bone to be preserved.
