Understanding
Partial Hip Replacement (Hemi Hip Replacement)
Partial Hip Replacement, also known as Hemi Hip Replacement, is a surgical procedure in which only the damaged femoral head (ball portion of the hip joint) is replaced while the natural socket (acetabulum) is preserved. This procedure is commonly performed for certain types of hip fractures, especially in older adults with healthy hip sockets.
A partial hip replacement, or hemiarthroplasty, replaces only the damaged “ball” of the hip joint while leaving the natural socket untouched. Doctors use this surgery to treat severe hip fractures in older adults. The procedure reduces surgery time and lowers the risk of the new joint popping out
Anatomy of the Partial Hip Replacement (Hemi Hip Replacement)
The hip joint consists of:
- Femoral Head (Ball): Upper end of the thigh bone.
- Acetabulum (Socket): Cup-shaped socket in the pelvis.
- Cartilage: Allows smooth joint movement.
- Ligaments and Muscles: Stabilize and move the hip.
In Hemi Hip Replacement, only the femoral head is replaced with a prosthetic implant, while the acetabulum remains intact.
