OR hip arthroplasty aims at restoration and quality of life, freeing patients of chronic pain and motor restrictions. Now, it is not only about the elderly, but also younger people suffering from joint damage. THE Dr. Panagiotis gikasOrthopedic Surgeon, BSC (Hons), MBBS (Hons), MD (RES), PhD FRCS (TR & Orth), analyzes the modern techniques Hip arthroplasty. Presents the advantages of personalized solutions And how they are achieved.
What is hip arthroplasty
OR hip arthroplasty is a one surgery that replaces the damaged hip joint with artificial implants. Its purpose is to relieve pain, restore mobility and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from arthritis or injuries.
In what cases does hip arthroplasty need
Hip arthroplasty is essential in cases where the joint has suffered severe damage and affects the patient’s quality of life. Specifically, it is recommended in the following cases:
- Osteoarthritis: The progressive wear of cartilage causes severe pain and stiffness.
- Rheumatoid arthritis: Inflammatory processes destroy the joint, leading to pain and loss of mobility.
- Post -traumatic arthritis: Injuries or fractures cause chronic damage to the joint.
- Hip fractures: Especially in the elderly, where healing is difficult or impossible.
What is the AMIS method and why do you choose it
OR AMIS It is a minimally invasive hip arthroplasty technique, performed through anterior access, without muscle and tendon cross section.
- Faster recovery: Patients can walk even on the same day.
- Less pain & blood loss: Thanks to muscle preservation, recovery is easier.
- Less risk of dislocation: Maintained the stability of the joint.
- Immediate return to everyday life: Patients come back faster to their activities.

What is the contribution of robotic technology to hip arthroplasty
Robotic technology, and especially the MACO system, has brought new data to hip arthroplasty, allowing doctors to design the surgery with excellent precision and to place implants based on the anatomy of each patient, significantly reducing the risk of failures or complications. When robotic technology is combined with the minimally invasive AMIS technique, which does not injure the muscles and tissues around the joint, the result is less pain, less blood loss and faster recovery. It is one of the most up -to -date and personalized hip solutions.
What is hip surface arthroplasty and to whom it is addressed
Surface arthroplasty is a different approach that aims to maintain as many bone tissue as possible. To surface arthroplasty The femoral head is gross and covered with a special implant, offering more natural movement and greater stability (as opposed to total arthroplasty where the femoral head is completely removed). This technique is mainly indicated for younger and active patients, who wish to return faster to demanding daily or sports activities. When combined with the minimally invasive AMIS technique, which does not injure the muscles and tissues around the joint, the result is less pain, and faster recovery and return to sports activities.
Advantages of personalized approaches to hip arthroplasty
The personalized approaches In hip arthroplasty they offer a lot advantages:
- Anatomical adjustment – Implants are adapted to the accurate anatomy of the patient, allowing better application and physical movement of the joint.
- Increased stability – Proper placement reduces the risk of failure or loosening of the intent.
- Smaller complications – Accurate positioning reduces the risk of dislocation and other problems.
- Faster restoration – Improved application allows faster recovery and less pain.
- Personal approach – The procedure adapts to the individual needs of each patient, offering better results.
