Hip Replacement with DAA

Are you experiencing chronic hip pain that limits your daily activities? Hip replacement surgery can offer a life-changing solution, and at Ortho Joint Clinic led by Dr. Subhash Jangid, we are proud to offer the innovative Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) for a faster, less invasive recovery.

What is Hip Replacement with DAA?

Hip replacement surgery replaces the damaged ball-and-socket joint of your hip with artificial implants. The DAA is a minimally invasive surgical technique that accesses the hip joint from the front of the body, through natural spaces between muscles. This approach offers several advantages compared to traditional posterior or lateral approaches.

Benefits of DAA Hip Replacement in India:

Minimally Invasive: DAA uses a smaller incision (3-4 inches) compared to traditional approaches (8-12 inches). This translates to less muscle disruption, reduced blood loss, and faster healing.
Reduced Pain: By minimizing muscle damage, DAA often leads to less postoperative pain, allowing for earlier mobilization and improved rehabilitation.
Faster Recovery: Many patients undergoing DAA can begin walking with assistance within hours of surgery and potentially go home the next day. This quicker recovery allows you to return to your daily routine sooner.
Improved Cosmesis: The smaller incision of DAA results in a less noticeable scar.
Reduced Risk of Dislocation: Studies suggest that DAA may have a lower risk of hip dislocation compared to other approaches.

Who is a Candidate for DAA Hip Replacement?

DAA is a suitable option for many patients with severe hip pain caused by:

Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to the hip bone)
Severe hip fractures

However, it’s important to understand that DAA may not be suitable for everyone. Factors such as your overall health, anatomy, and previous surgeries will be considered by Dr. Jangid during your consultation to determine if DAA is the best approach for you.

What to Expect with DAA Hip Replacement at Ortho Joint Clinic

Consultation: During your initial consultation with Dr. Jangid, he will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and perform a physical examination. X-rays or other imaging tests may be ordered to assess the severity of your hip joint damage. Dr. Jangid will then discuss your treatment options, including DAA hip replacement, and answer any questions you may have.

Pre-Operative Preparation: Once you decide to proceed with DAA, Dr. Jangid’s team will provide you with detailed instructions on pre-surgical preparation, including medications to avoid, dietary changes, and exercises to improve your strength and flexibility.

Surgery: DAA hip replacement is typically performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, Dr. Jangid will access the hip joint through the front of your hip, minimizing disruption to muscles. The damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with artificial implants made of durable materials like metal and plastic. The incision is then closed with sutures or staples.

Recovery: Following surgery, you will be monitored closely by our team. Pain management is a priority, and physical therapy will begin soon after surgery to help you regain strength, mobility, and range of motion in your hip.
