What are the conditions for which hip replacement is indicated?

Hello,

Thanks for trusting us with your health care.

I can understand your concern.

Let me go through your report and get back to you. Meanwhile, if you could send me your X-rays, it would be really helpful.

You can always come back and reach me at icliniq.com.

Thank you for consulting me.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

After reviewing your MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) report (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity), it appears there is 20 to 25 percent femoral under-coverage due to acetabular dysplasia. This developmental problem cannot be cured with conservative measures such as medicinal therapy. During weight-bearing, the femoral head needs complete support from the acetabulum, but in your case, there is a 25 percent deficiency. Therefore, to the best of my knowledge, total hip replacement (THR) is the only option to manage this condition. My opinion is based on your MRI report. However, it is advisable to share the complete clinical details of the patient. There seems to be an age discrepancy mentioned as two years, which I believe is not the case. Hence, please provide the full clinical details of the patient.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
