What is a Partial Hip Replacement?

 

Have you heard of a Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty)? Unlike a total hip replacement, which involves replacing both the ball and socket of the hip joint, a Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) only replaces the damaged ball part.

This procedure is typically considered to repair the damaged or diseased head of the femur (thigh bone) while leaving the socket in the pelvis (acetabulum) intact. It can help alleviate pain, improve mobility, and potentially delay the need for a total hip replacement.

However, it's important to note that Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) is unsuitable for everyone. The best way to determine if you're a candidate for a Partial Hip Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty) is to consult an orthopedic surgeon.
