Partial Hip Replacement

Partial Hip Replacement, also known as hemi-arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which one side of the hip joint — the femoral head — is replaced rather than replacing both sides of the joint.

The procedure is used in selected patients where replacement of only one part of the hip is appropriate. Asian Orthopaedic Hospital is a trusted choice for Partial Hip Replacement in Sabarmati, with treatment planned according to the patient’s hip condition, extent of joint damage, symptoms, and overall mobility requirements.

What Is Partial Hip Replacement?

The hip is a major weight-bearing joint that plays an important role in walking, standing, sitting, and everyday movement.

Unlike Total Hip Replacement, where both major sides of the hip joint are replaced, Partial Hip Replacement focuses on replacing one side of the joint.

This procedure is also referred to as hemi-arthroplasty.

When May Partial Hip Replacement Be Considered?

  • The condition of the hip joint
  • The extent of joint damage
  • The affected portion of the hip
  • The patient’s mobility and symptoms
  • Whether partial replacement is an appropriate treatment option

A detailed assessment is important before deciding on the most suitable surgical approach.

How the Procedure Works

Partial Hip Replacement involves replacing one side of the hip joint with an artificial component while retaining the other side of the joint.

Hip Joint Assessment

The hip is carefully evaluated to understand the patient’s condition and determine whether partial hip replacement may be appropriate.

Surgical Planning

The surgical approach is planned according to the affected portion of the hip, extent of damage, and individual patient requirements.

Replacement of the Damaged Side

During hemi-arthroplasty, the affected side of the hip joint is replaced with an appropriate prosthetic component.

Restoring Hip Function

Following surgery, the treatment and rehabilitation plan focuses on progressively restoring movement and supporting functional recovery.

Partial Hip Replacement Journey

Recovery after partial hip replacement varies according to the patient’s age, general health, pre-existing conditions, surgical factors, and individual response to rehabilitation.

Early Mobilization

Following surgery, the medical team assesses the patient’s condition and guides appropriate movement and weight-bearing according to the individual treatment plan.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy can help improve hip movement, strengthen surrounding muscles, and support progressive functional recovery.

Mobility Training

Patients may initially require walking assistance while they gradually regain confidence, strength, and mobility.

Follow-Up Care

Regular follow-up allows the medical team to monitor recovery and provide appropriate guidance throughout rehabilitation.
