About Partial Hip Replacement

A partial hip replacement, also known as hemiarthroplasty, is a surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to address severe hip fractures, typically of the femoral neck. Unlike a total hip replacement, this procedure involves replacing only the damaged ball (femoral head) of the hip joint with a prosthetic implant, while preserving the patient's natural socket (acetabulum). It is a common and effective solution primarily for elderly patients with displaced fractures, aiming to restore mobility, alleviate severe pain, and enable a quicker return to function. The procedure is less invasive than a total replacement, often resulting in a shorter surgery time and recovery period, making it a crucial intervention for improving quality of life and independence after a traumatic hip injury.

Key Highlights

Targeted surgery that replaces only the damaged femoral head, preserving healthy bone.Generally shorter operative time and less blood loss compared to total hip replacement.Effective for rapid pain relief and restoration of mobility after a hip fracture.Often allows for weight-bearing shortly after surgery, facilitating faster rehabilitation.Can significantly improve independence and quality of life, especially for elderly patients.

Who is this surgery for?

Displaced femoral neck fracture (Garden Type III or IV), particularly in elderly patients.
Certain non-displaced fractures in patients with high risk of displacement or avascular necrosis.
Selected cases of avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis) isolated to the femoral head.
Some specific tumor conditions affecting only the femoral head.
Patients who are not ideal candidates for total hip replacement due to age, activity level, or medical comorbidities.

How to prepare

Complete pre-operative medical evaluation, including blood tests, ECG, and chest X-ray.
Consultation with an anesthesiologist to determine the safest anesthesia plan.
Discontinuation of certain medications like blood thinners (as advised by the surgeon).
Pre-operative physical therapy education for post-surgery exercises and mobility aids.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the scheduled surgery time.
Arranging for support at home during the initial recovery phase.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or deep within the joint.
Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).
Dislocation of the new implant, though less common than with total replacement.
Leg length discrepancy.
Loosening or wear of the prosthetic components over time.
Nerve or blood vessel damage during surgery.
Anesthesia-related risks.
Persistent pain or stiffness in the hip.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay typically involves pain management, IV antibiotics, and early mobilization with physical therapy.
Use of a walker or crutches for initial support; weight-bearing is often allowed as tolerated.
Strict adherence to hip precautions (like avoiding crossing legs or bending past 90 degrees) to prevent dislocation.
In-home or outpatient physical therapy to regain strength, range of motion, and walking ability.
Gradual return to daily activities over several weeks, with driving usually permitted after 4-6 weeks.
Follow-up appointments with the surgeon for wound check and X-rays to monitor healing.
Long-term lifestyle modifications may include low-impact exercises and maintaining a healthy weight.

Typical hospital stay: 3-5 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for basic mobility, 3-6 months for full recovery
