Why is surgery performed? And when is it needed?

The doctor resorts to surgery when non-surgical treatment methods such as medication and physical therapy are insufficient.

Severe Pain

If the pain persists despite medication or conservative treatment.

Advanced Osteoarthritis

Caused by aging or severe joint degeneration.

Difficulty Moving

When walking or normal movement becomes difficult.

Treatments Are No Longer Effective

If medications and physical therapy no longer provide relief.

Types of hip replacement surgery

Not all patients require the same type of surgery; the choice depends on the severity of the damage and the condition of the joint.

Partial Hip Replacement

In this procedure, only the damaged part of the joint is replaced, which is often the head of the femur, while preserving the remaining parts of the joint. It is commonly used in cases of fractures or certain special conditions.

Total Hip Replacement

In this procedure, the entire hip joint — including the femoral head and the acetabulum — is removed and replaced with a modern artificial joint. It is commonly recommended for patients suffering from severe osteoarthritis or complete joint damage.

The success of the operation begins with good preparation, which is why Dr. Mohammed will take several steps to ensure the patient is fully ready for the procedure.

Blood Tests and Imaging

Blood tests and imaging scans are performed to accurately evaluate the condition of the joint and determine the extent of the damage.

Reviewing Medical History

The patient’s medical history and current medications are carefully reviewed to ensure they are fully prepared for surgery.

Medication Adjustments and Fasting

The patient may be asked to stop certain medications or fast for several hours before the procedure.

Advanced Anterior Approach Technique

Dr. Mohammed Al-Shouli performs hip replacement surgery using the advanced anterior approach, without cutting any muscles. This technique helps speed up recovery and significantly reduces pain. It is considered one of the latest techniques used worldwide and offers several advantages compared to the traditional posterior approach that was previously more common in the Middle East.

Step 1

Removing the Damaged Part

The damaged part of the hip joint is carefully removed to prepare the joint for the new implant.

Step 2

Preparing the Bones

The femur and pelvic bones are precisely prepared to ensure the new joint is fixed correctly and securely.

Step 3

Implanting the Artificial Joint

The artificial joint is securely placed in position to provide better performance, stability, and mobility.

Advantages of Using This Technique

The anterior approach technique, combined with the latest surgical technologies, provides better outcomes for patients and helps them return to their normal lives more quickly.

Faster Recovery

Patients are able to start moving and walking sooner, with a shorter recovery period that helps them return to daily life more quickly.

Less Pain After Surgery

Thanks to the muscle-sparing anterior approach, patients experience significantly less pain compared to traditional surgical methods.

Muscle Preservation

The anterior approach helps avoid cutting the muscles surrounding the joint, which improves stability and supports faster healing.

Greater Precision with Advanced Technology

The use of robotic-assisted surgery and advanced technologies helps position the artificial joint with a high level of accuracy.
