Transform Pain Fast Hip Replacement Surgery Consultation Inside
There are several types of hip replacement surgeries, each suited to different patient needs:
- Total Hip Replacement: This is the most common type, where both the acetabulum (hip socket) and the femoral head (thigh bone) are replaced.
- Partial Hip Replacement: Also known as hemiarthroplasty, this involves replacing only one part of the hip joint, usually the femoral head.
- Hip Resurfacing: A less invasive option where the femoral head is capped with a smooth metal covering instead of being replaced.
Each type has its benefits and considerations, and the best choice depends on factors like age, activity level, and the extent of hip damage.
