Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is high blood pressure in the heart-to-lung system that delivers fresh (oxygenated) blood to the heart while returning used (oxygen-depleted) blood back to the lungs. Pulmonary versus systemic blood pressure.
Two types of surgery are used. 1  Hip repair (internal fixation). 2  Hip repair involves stabilizing broken bones with surgical screws, nails, rods, or plates. 3  This type of surgery is usually for people who have fractures in which the bones can be properly aligned.
Hip surgery may involve total hip replacement or it may involve hip resurfacing. During total hip replacement surgery, the damaged portions of the hip joint are removed. The ball (femoral head) is removed and replaced with a prosthetic ball made of metal or ceramic, and the socket (acetabulum) is removed and replaced with a prosthetic cup.
