PARTIAL HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY
What is Partial Hip Replacement?
A Partial Hip Replacement also referred to as Hemiarthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that only removes the damaged portion of the femur bone, which is the hip joint’s ball component, and leaves the remaining femur bone and hip socket acetabulum intact. Essentially, this procedure is done on older patients with hip fractures instead of arthritis.
