Feeling hip with hip replacement surgery

The hips are a load-bearing support structure on the body that we use constantly for walking and sitting – when this is impaired, the range for movement is greatly reduced. We sat down with a leading orthopaedic surgeon who told us all about how hip replacement surgery can restore flexibility and ability in the hips.

Standing up straight with balloon kyphoplasty

The spine is a weight-bearing structure that maintains the body upright, holds up the skull, and supports the organs of the abdomen so they have enough space to function whilst still being flexible. When the spine compresses from a fractured vertebra, the spine can curve, distorting posture and causing a lot of pain. This can also cause breathing issues and hinder the abdominal organs — but a balloon kyphoplasty can stabilise the vertebra and prevent the spine from collapsing. We spoke with a leading consultant spinal surgeon about this simple procedure with a big impact.

Rotator cuff injuries: when surgery is the right solution

The rotator cuff is a collection of muscles and tendons in the shoulder that anchors the upper arm bone, called the humerus, to niches in the clavicle and scapula, becoming the shoulder joint in a ball-and-socket configuration. The rotator cuff helps the shoulder and arm move fluidly and without pain, but they can get injured from overuse, accidents, or wear away with time. In this article, a leading orthopaedic surgeon discusses the many ways to treat an injured rotator cuff, and how to know if surgery is necessary.

Hip replacement: what to expect before and after surgery

Hip replacement surgery is a corrective procedure to restore flexibility, functionality, and movement to the hips, located at the joint where the leg meets the pelvis. The thigh bone called the femur, fits into a niche of the pelvis in a ball-and-socket joint. It is synovial, meaning that there is a lubricative membrane that sits between the two bones and keeps movement fluid and without pain. Hip replacements are necessary when this membrane deteriorates, or if the patient has been in a bad accident that has damaged their hips or suffering from extreme arthritis and cannot walk even with a cane or walker.
