Total Hip Replacement Using a Dual-Mobility Prosthesis for a Patient with Advanced Osteoarthritis
A specialized orthopedic and joint surgery team at Alkafeel Hospital in Karbala successfully performed a total hip replacement surgery for a 68-year-old female patient suffering from advanced osteoarthritis of the right hip joint.
Consultant orthopedic and trauma surgeon, Dr. Ihsan Faraj, stated that the patient, who was also suffering from degenerative changes in other joints, underwent hip replacement using a modern dual-mobility prosthesis. This type of implant provides greater stability and facilitates movement, significantly improving the patient’s quality of life.
Dr. Faraj emphasized that Alkafeel Hospital is committed to using prosthetic joints from the world’s most reputable manufacturers, in addition to providing state-of-the-art surgical instruments and equipment to ensure the highest standards of safety and outcomes for patients.
He further explained that what made this case remarkable was the patient’s rapid recovery — she began physiotherapy sessions the very next day and was able to walk within 24 hours after surgery. This swift progress reflects both the efficiency of the medical team and the advanced surgical technologies available at Alkafeel Hospital.
