Bipolar hemiarthroplasty is a surgical procedure performed to replace the femoral head (the ball part of the hip joint) with a prosthetic implant while preserving the patient’s own acetabulum (socket part of the hip joint). This procedure is commonly used to treat fractures of the femoral neck in elderly patients or those with certain types of hip arthritis. At The Mumbai Clinic, Dr. Parimal Malviya specializes in bipolar hemiarthroplasty to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve mobility in patients with hip joint conditions.
Bipolar hemiarthroplasty differs from total hip replacement in that only the femoral head is replaced with a prosthetic component. The implant consists of two parts: the femoral stem, which is inserted into the femur (thigh bone), and the bipolar head, which articulates with the acetabulum (hip socket). This allows for improved mobility and reduced risk of dislocation compared to other types of hip surgery.
