Partial Hip Replacement

Restore Mobility, Regain Freedom.

What is Partial Hip Replacement?

Partial Hip Replacement (also called hemiarthroplasty) is a surgical procedure where only the damaged or fractured part of the hip joint—usually the femoral head—is replaced with an artificial implant, while the healthy socket (acetabulum) is preserved. This procedure is most commonly recommended for patients with hip fractures or localized hip damage.

Why is Partial Hip Replacement Required?

Partial Hip Replacement may be required in cases such as:
  • Hip fractures (commonly in elderly patients due to osteoporosis or accidents).
  • Severe damage to the femoral head while the hip socket remains healthy.
  • Pain and restricted mobility that cannot be managed with conservative treatments.
  • To improve quality of life by restoring movement and reducing pain.

How Much Time Does the Procedure Take?

The procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the patient’s condition and the complexity of the fracture or damage.

Partial Hip Replacement Procedure

1. Pre-Operation

  • Clinical assessment and imaging tests (X-rays, CT scans).
  • Medical history review and anesthesia evaluation.
  • Pre-surgery instructions including fasting, medication review, and lifestyle guidance.

2. Surgical Steps

  • Administering anesthesia (general or spinal).
  • Making an incision near the hip joint.
  • Removing the damaged femoral head.
  • Inserting a prosthetic femoral head and securing it into place.
  • Checking hip alignment, stability, and mobility before closing the incision.

3. Post-Operation

  • Pain management and infection prevention.
  • Early physiotherapy for walking and mobility (often with support initially).
  • Shorter hospital stay compared to total hip replacement.
  • Rehabilitation program for a safe and quicker return to daily activities.

Benefits of Partial Hip Replacement

  • Relieves hip pain effectively.
  • Preserves the natural socket, reducing complexity of surgery.
  • Faster recovery compared to total hip replacement.
  • Improves mobility and stability.
  • Allows elderly patients with fractures to regain independence quickly.
