Many hip disease patients, the pain is unbearable, walking, self-care are difficult, the doctor recommended that its hip replacement surgery, patients are often worried about: change a fake joint in the end can not be good? How is the effect of the surgery? What if there is an accident during the surgery? I can still walk without surgery, but what if the surgery goes bad and leaves me with a disability? Elderly people, in particular, tend to be more conservative in their thinking and can easily be overcome by the mentality of “better to die than to live”. For hip replacement, should we replace or not? The so-called artificial hip joint replacement is to choose and human compatibility, good activity performance of metal and other materials, such as: titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, polymer polyethylene, ceramics, manufactured into a variety of artificial hip joints, used to replace the normal use of the diseased joints, to solve the pain, deformity and activity barriers to restore to the approximate normal joint function of the surgery. To replace or not to replace, in the end, where to go from here? Many patients are most hesitant to replace or not to replace their joints. In addition to the financial aspect, more people are concerned about the safety of the surgery and the after-effects. Don’t blindly choose surgery, and don’t be afraid of surgery! 1. Not having surgery does not necessarily mean it is safe. For the elderly, if because of the joints of the disease, pain caused by activity dysfunction, or even can not walk, paralyzed in bed, even if not to do any surgery, there is the same risk. We often say that life is about exercise, and this is especially true for the elderly, whose own health is declining and many of whom suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. If they can move freely, walk outdoors often and are in a good mood, the chances of cardiovascular problems are lower. However, if joint movement is restricted and activity is reduced, coupled with the inability to take care of themselves, the elderly will have psychological and physical problems. Especially for elderly people with previous cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, blood flow slows down and blood viscosity increases, making it easy for blood clots to form, thus causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems. Being bedridden also easily induces comorbidities, such as pneumonia and bedsores, which can then lead to systemic infections and ultimately life-threatening conditions. If joint replacement surgery is done when physical and economic conditions permit, patients can move around on crutches 48 hours after surgery, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of blood clots and bedsores. Rehabilitation exercise after 3 months, you can throw away the crutches to live on their own, both physically and mentally will reduce a lot of pressure. 2, one side of the disease is not treated, be careful to bring bad legs! Many patients have problems with one side of the joints, because of long-term pain persistence in walking, over time will lead to the other side of the problem. This is because the affected side of the lower limb problems, will inevitably reduce the affected side of the body’s weight-bearing capacity, and the healthy side of the more burden. It is like the original two people to carry the burden, become a person to carry, over time, and ultimately the good leg is also tired. 3, this surgery is not small, but there is no need to be afraid! Joint replacement, is a major surgery in orthopedics, is also a routine surgery, although the surgery itself exists postoperative infection, embolism during or after surgery, as well as the center of the operation, brain, lung accidents and other risks, and many of these risks, once they occur, are often life-threatening, but the doctor has to do a full body checkup on the patient before the operation to assess the risk of the patient, and find ways to avoid the occurrence of comorbidities, so as to reduce the probability of risk occurrence. In addition, hip joint disease is one of the common diseases in orthopedics, once a problem occurs in the hip joint, it will first cause pain, so how should we prevent and deal with the pain caused by hip joint disease? 1, pay attention to joint warmth when the temperature drops, add clothes in time to avoid hip joints from getting cold. In addition, try not to contact with cold water, wash with warm water is best. If you are already suffering from arthritis, you can wear more clothes and pants to prevent recurrence. 2, appropriate exercise usually should be timely calcium supplement, appropriate exercise, can help prevent arthritis. Sedentary people are also vulnerable to joint pain in a group of people. After working for a while, you should get up and walk, move your wrists, shoulders and neck, knee joints, hip joints and so on. In your spare time, participate in outdoor sports, such as walking, swimming, jogging and so on. It should be noted that climbing, squatting and other activities to do less, these will varying degrees of wear and tear joints. 3, ensure a balanced diet to ensure adequate daily intake of calories, control fat intake. It is appropriate to eat high protein, easy to digest food, such as eggs, lean meat and soy products. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits that are rich in vitamin C. Diet should be light and no cold and raw food should be eaten. In addition, drink more warm water to prevent colds. 4.Reduce the weight of the hip joint Usually, you should combine work and rest, pay attention to rest, and avoid walking or bearing weight for too long. 5, timely medical treatment Hip pain should attract attention, go to the regular hospital as soon as possible for treatment, do not blindly self-medication, so as to avoid the side effects of drugs arthropathy.
