Reemplazo de la articulación de la cadera - Serie

< Back

Procedimiento (segunda parte):

Luego, se inserta una cabeza y un soporte metálicos en el fémur y se coloca una cavidad plástica en la copa agrandada de la pelvis. Los componentes artificiales son asegurados en su lugar (algunas veces se utiliza un cemento especial). Luego se vuelven a colocar los músculos y tendones contra los huesos y se cierra la incisión.

El paciente sale de la intervención quirúrgica con un vendaje grande en el área de la cadera. Durante la cirugía, al paciente se le coloca un pequeño tubo de drenaje para ayudar a drenar el exceso de líquido del área articular.
