Partial Hip Replacement (Hip Hemiarthroplasty)
Partial Hip Replacement (Hip Hemiarthroplasty)
Repeated hip-loading activities—such as frequent stair climbing, heavy lifting, or repeated squatting—combined with conditions like osteoporosis or trauma, can accelerate hip joint degeneration. In cases where damage is localized, such as a femoral neck fracture or partial hip deterioration, partial hip replacement can help relieve pain and restore mobility.
Signs of Hip Joint Degeneration or Fracture
Sudden hip pain
Often occurs after a fall or accident, especially in elderly patients with osteoporosis.
Inability to bear weight on the leg
The patient cannot walk and experiences immediate weakness following a hip injury.
Visible deformity
One leg appears shorter, or the foot turns outward, possibly indicating a femoral fracture near the hip joint.
Localized degeneration of the femoral head
Chronic pain isolated to the femoral head area.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of Hip Joint Degeneration
S Spine & Joint Hospital specializes in spinal and joint conditions and emphasizes accurate diagnosis before treatment. All patients presenting with joint-related symptoms undergo thorough evaluation by a specialist. Diagnostic imaging—including X-ray and MRI—is essential to understand the scope of joint damage and determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Treatment Technique
Our treatment approach stands out through our S-Quality standard, which includes three key elements:
Specialist Doctors
🎯 Trained in our hospital’s standardized treatment protocols.
Experienced Support Team
🎯 Knowledgeable in treatment procedures and able to work closely with doctors to streamline patient care.
Advanced Medical Technology
🎯 Specialized for spine and joint treatment, including world-class surgical tools. Lack of any one component may affect treatment effectiveness.
Treatment procedure
Our specialized medical technology includes world-class surgical instruments and an open MRI that can shift from a lying to a standing position—ensuring precise and swift diagnosis and treatment. The absence of any component may impact overall treatment success.
Identifying the Cause
Diagnosis begins with posture-specific X-rays and upright MRI scans to evaluate abnormalities in cervical discs. Physicians combine both sets of images for a highly accurate assessment.
Antiresorptive Agents
Patients will receive pre-treatment instructions, such as fasting or informing the doctor of any existing conditions or allergies. A thorough physical examination will also be conducted.
Partial Hip Replacement (Hip Hemiarthroplasty)
Using specialized tools, the surgeon removes only the damaged or fractured femoral head while preserving the natural hip socket. A prosthetic head is implanted, enabling improved joint mobility.
Smaller incision
After treatment, the doctor and a specialized support team will monitor the recovery progress and evaluate the patient’s condition to ensure pain relief, no complications, and a full return to normal life.
Smaller incision
Less pain Fewer complications
Minimal blood loss No transfusion
Fast recovery Home in 1-2 days
