We generally need the hip prosthesis in the case of hip calcification and hip deformations. Our patients who lost their daily life quality consult us. We do replace joints with prosthesis when the patients have  problems with walking, sitting, crouching and coming up or down a ladder. We decide upon a proper proshtesis for the patient. Then surgery takes place with minimal invasive technics. Finally the patient stands up and start to walk after the surgery and is charged within 2-3 days.

Keeping our weight in balance not only protects us from ilnesses but also plays an important role against the calcification. Loosing weight  protects the knee joint and provides a healty muscle system. Joint caicification mostly begins with a pain and causes a limitation of movement and cartilage damage.  Knee joints in the a body are one of the most damaged joint. Overweight causes an extra pressure on the joints and gives a way to arthritis symptoms  which means  inflammation , ache , turgescency and hardening.

Innate hip luxation may end in  permanent diseases if it is not observed and treated in advance. This kind of luxation simply means that the hip  comes out of the hole that should be located in the head of thigh bone.

Innate hip luxation symptoms

There may not be any symptoms in children who don’t have a heavy luxation level until they start to walk. This cases can be detected in a normal treatment of the child.

Which babies are under risk ?

Those who have a hip luxation in family or close relatives. This case must be immediately informed to doctor.

Babies who were born with breech presentation  or who keep their head up  in mother’s womb untill birth are in more danger.

After the surgery, the patient should do given exercises and stay away from doing banned movements. Hip prosthesis luxation or softening cases can be within 5 –10 years after the surgery. Beyond this, it can be observed in 50 years old and older people.

 Hip prosthesis luxation or softening  symptoms ?

• Painful feeling
• Turgescency in hip and thigh
• Dangerous movements may damage the body
• A sound may come serious ache can be observed after the sound
• Difficiulties with wailking
• Shortness in leg
• Doing sport may make feel challenging after the surgery

Prosthesis sorts that we use in the hip prosthesis surgeries are composed of ceramic and metal components. Used prosthesis processes can be classified as three groups.

Cement-free hip prosthesis

Curent prosthesis are produced without cement thanks to today’s technology. The cement-free prosthesis ensure bone development. Prostheses are placed in hipbone and thigh bone. Growing bone mends with the prosthesis and acts in a unified form.

 There are 3 types of prostheses of medical productions:

• Metal-head and plastic hole
• Ceramic head and ceramic hole
• Metal head and metal hole

Cement containing prosthesis

These are prosthesis that are produced with chemical matters and got sticked by using adhesives . Average life-time is around 25 years. Materials used in these prosthesis are extremely strong.

Surface covering

Surface covering option can be applied through the last technology. Surface covering method is generally applied on young and active people. There is no possibility that the used prosthesis may dislocate from it’s hole. This kind of operations can take around 40 minutes.

Small bony protuberance on the heel bone is mainly a calcium accumulation as a result of anke bone’s urge and this situation is called as heel spur. This do not arise  in a moment and start to be visible slowly in a long time process. This case can be seen in every age. Mostly, the reason behind the heel spur is that the urge of muscles and thendoms in ankels. Another reason is that abrasion of the membrane covering the heel bone.

People who are doing some sports are more likely to have the heel spur. For instance, jumping and running sportsmen are in a high range in this category.  Middle-aged group  are more likely to have the heel spur but it can take palce in young people. The heel spur risk increases when arch collapses and  archilles tendon gets stretched.  Long joggings and walking deformities’s pressure on the heel, diabetes  and doing a hars sport before the body is heated can trigger the heel spur.

Hallux Valgus is protuberances as a result of deformation on toe. This can be observed on many people and called as bunion removal foot.

Treatment of the disease

There are several methods in the treatment of Hallux Valgus. One of this is repairing tendons and ligaments around the toe. Balnce of the joint is protected in this process. Thightness in the joint due to deformation is recoverd by cutting process.

Another process is arthrodesis. This treatment can be resorted in advanced cases. Totally deformed joint surface is removed and toe joint is fixed in 10 angle. To mend the surfaces stronger after the joints mend ,  additional apparatus like screw, wire and platters are placed.
