The three major types of hip replacement are:

  2. Partial hip replacement
  3. Hip resurfacing

Total Hip Replacement :-

The most common type of hip replacement surgery is called a total hip replacement (also called total hip arthroplasty). In this surgery, worn-out or damaged sections of your hip are replaced with artificial implants. The socket is replaced with a durable plastic cup, which may or may not also include a titanium metal shell. Your femoral head will be removed and replaced with a ball made from ceramic or a metal alloy. The new ball is attached to a metal stem that is inserted into the top of your femur.

Partial Hip Replacement :-

Partial Hip Replacement is a surgical procedure used to replace half of the hip joint. The operation involves replacing the ball of the femur that has worn from arthritis, degeneration, or a serious fracture involving the ball of the hip joint. Normal motion becomes restricted and painful with advanced wear of the hip joint.

Hip resurfacing :-

Hip resurfacing has been developed as a surgical alternative to total hip replacement. The procedure consists of placing a cap, which is hollow and shaped like a mushroom, over the head of the femur .Hip resurfacing is a type of surgery to replace a damaged hip joint. In the hip joint, the rounded head of the thighbone (the femoral head) moves smoothly inside the round socket of the hip bone. Normally, the socket is lined with cartilage, which helps the bones move smoothly.

Knee replacement surgeries, methodology, techniques and technology have developed by leaps and bound in the last few decades. Total knee surgery has gone through so many transformations and has positively benefited the patients. The cost factor, the technology, quality of implants, minimally invasive techniques and reduced rehabilitation periods have all given the patients who were afraid of knee replacement going wrong.
