A slipped disc, also known medically as herniated disc, occurs when the soft inner core of a spinal disc protrudes through its outer layer, which can irritate nearby nerves. This condition often causes pain, numbness, or weakness down the arms or legs (sciatica).
Total hip replacement is mainly of two types depending on whether bone cement is used for fixation of acetabulum cup and femoral stem. If cement is used for fixation of femoral stem and acetabulum cup then it is called cemented total hip replacement. If cement is not used to fixed the acetabulum and femoral component then it is called uncemented total hip replacement.
Usually uncemented total hip replacement is used for young people with good bone quality. Whereas cemented total hip replacement is used for patients above 60 years of age who have weak bones because of osteoporosis.
Different Types Of Acetabulum And Femoral Head Components
Treatment Options
Conservative Management (First-line)
- Medications: NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, and pain relievers to reduce inflammation and discomfort.
- Epidural steroid injections: Offer temporary relief by reducing nerve inflammation, facilitating rehab efforts.
- Physical therapy: Targeted exercises to strengthen core muscles, improve spinal stability, and correct posture.
- Lifestyle modifications: Emphasize proper ergonomics, regular movement, core strengthening, and avoiding heavy lifting.
- Heat and cold therapy: Used to manage pain and reduce inflammation during acute phases.
Minimally Invasive & Surgical Treatments
Reserved for persistent, severe, or complicated cases:
- Microdiscectomy – Removes the herniated portion via minimally invasive techniques; generally safe, with quick recovery.
- Laminectomy – Enlarges the spinal canal by removing part of the vertebra to relieve pressure.
- Spinal fusion – Fuses together affected vertebrae to stabilize the spine, used when instability is a concern.
- Artificial disc replacement – Replaces damaged discs with synthetic ones to preserve mobility, mostly for select cases.
- TESSYS® endoscopic discectomy – A highly gentle, mini-open endoscopic procedure that uses minimal incisions and no general anesthesia in most cases, allowing rapid pain relief and quicker recovery.
- Endoscopic spine surgery is gaining popularity due to its safety profile and fast recovery—some patients walk within hours and return home the same day.
