Partial Hip Replacement
Partial Hip Replacement replaces only the femoral head and is commonly used in elderly patients with neck femur fractures. It is not typically used for widespread arthritis.
Partial replacement is often faster and less invasive in fracture settings but may not be suitable for younger or active patients.
If arthritis develops later, conversion to total replacement may be necessary such as Minimally Invasive Total Hip Replacement (MIS THR) and Revision Hip Replacement Surgery.
