Overview
Partial hip replacement is an advanced orthopedic procedure primarily indicated for patients with femoral neck fractures or limited damage confined to the ball portion of the hip joint. In this surgery, the surgeon removes the damaged femoral head and replaces it with a prosthetic implant while keeping the acetabulum intact. This approach reduces surgical complexity and preserves healthy bone structures. The procedure is often preferred in older adults with lower activity demands, offering quicker recovery and reduced operative risk. With modern implant materials and precise surgical techniques, partial hip replacement delivers reliable pain relief, improved joint stability, and early return to functional independence.
