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.
Total hip replacement is an operation designed to replace the damaged hip joint. Various prosthetic designs and types of procedures are available to the surgeon. Our surgeons carefully evaluate the patient to: 1) determine if surgery is indicated; 2) determine the most appropriate type of procedure; and 3) develop a plan of treatment.
