Sound advice about your hip replacement!

- Опубликовано: 19 июл 2024
- When I do hip replacement surgery, I use all of my senses to make sure that it fits properly. A team of surgeons have analysed the sounds made when a surgeon impacts the cup of a hip replacement into place. They can predict if the cup isn't sitting properly! I can certainly tell if the sound isn't 'right' when I'm putting the parts in!
Any questions? Leave them below.

So interesting. With my first hip replacement i woke up from the sedative while they were hammering. Lovely noise. I will add that I also had, as you know, a spinal! 🙈😅
Good to know that you didn’t find waking up a problem. A lot of people worry about that but the vast majority are blissfully unaware of what’s going on. To extend the musical analogy surgery is a bit like a sonata. Exposure, insertion of the components and then closure!
If i could, i would actually have asked for my second replacement op 2 months ago to be filmed! Would have loved to watch it. With this op though, I didnt waken till they were finishing off 🤗
It certainly rings true to me 😂
Ha! Love it!!
Hahahahahaha hahahaha
That's so interesting Jeremy
And so funny.
You are the best.
Bless you Lee. I hoped that the metal components had different notes but there wasn’t much between between them. Hope you are doing well.
Sir i want to get THR in upcoming days…..ceramic on highly cross linked poly….wat will be the minimum life of the implant Sir?
Depends on how much loading and cycles of use it has. About 80% of people should expect 15-20 years.
Thanx sir….HOW MANY CYCLES ARE THERE IN CERAMIC ON HIGHLY CROSS LINKED POLY SIR?
@@drnitish5the average number of cycles is about a million per year.
Sir Can i get ur video consultation on pay basis from India ?
@@drnitish5 No problem. Please email me using the address in the description and we will set it up.
Hi Doctor Latham, i hope you are well, can i pick your brains?
Q my friend has a UHMWPE liner, is that the same as a HXLPE one?
Or better or not as good?
From what i can see he has a 1st generation liner but what do i know?
No problem. Medical poly has been highly cross linked for the last 30+ years. Polyethylene is ultra high molecular weight but the first generation devices weren’t highly cross linked. The process involves irradiation of the polyethylene.
@Lathamhipsurgery Thanks doctor latham, so even though his paperwork describes it as UHMWPE it's taken for granted nowadays it's highly cross linked. : /
@@planet_69yes I believe that’s the case although there could be regional and manufacturer differences. Best to check with the surgeon.
@Lathamhipsurgery It's made by biomet I think they're a big outfit.
He says it's E1 antioxidant infused polyethylene (or diffused) the latest tech.
@@planet_69Zimmer Biomet one of the top 5 globally. Vitamin E infused poly works well.
