To determine whether you’re a good fit for hip replacement surgery, Dr. Hussamy performs a full examination in addition to blood tests, X-rays, and an MRI if necessary. You should stop using tobacco products at least four weeks before your surgery to avoid postoperative complications.
Dr. Hussamy and the team use Stryker® total hip replacement prosthetics and MAKOplasty® robotic hip replacements for optimal fit and function. The MAKO total hip system is specially designed for those with degenerative conditions like arthritis. After your evaluation, Dr. Hussamy can determine which option is right for you.
During the procedure, Dr. Hussamy makes an incision in either the front or side of your hip to remove any damaged bone, tissue, or cartilage. He then implants the artificial socket and the small round ball at the top of your femur bone.
