Shocking Surge in Hip Diseases Among Young Adults: Tam Anh General Hospital Leads the Way in Minimally Invasive Treatment

Tam Anh General Hospital has seen a surge in hip disease cases in the past 6 months, with over 500 cases reported, an increase of more than 48% compared to the same period last year. The majority of these cases involve individuals under the age of 40. According to MSc.BSc.CKI Le Dinh Khoa, Head of the Joint Reconstruction Department at the Orthopedics Trauma Center, this trend marks a shift towards hip diseases affecting a younger demographic.

Factors such as lack of exercise, alcohol abuse, and tobacco use have contributed to the occurrence of hip diseases at a younger age. Common hip diseases include hip dysplasia, hip degenerative arthritis, and femoral head necrosis, which can cause severe pain and limit daily activities. Patients like Mr. Kiet and Ms. Hoa have experienced debilitating symptoms due to hip diseases, eventually requiring hip replacement surgery.

Dr. Khoa emphasizes the importance of timely treatment to prevent complications like skeletal deformation and disability. To address the specific needs of young patients undergoing hip replacement surgery, Dr. Khoa and his team at Tam Anh General Hospital employ minimally invasive techniques that prioritize joint functionality, durability, bone preservation, and quick recovery. These techniques include ABMS external anterior incision and SuperPATH incision, which have shown promising results in preserving muscle groups and reducing pain and blood loss post-surgery.

Following surgery, patients undergo a rehabilitation period to strengthen soft tissues surrounding the joint and enhance joint function. Dr. Khoa highlights the importance of regular health check-ups to detect hip diseases early and explore non-surgical treatment options before considering hip replacement surgery
