Hip Replacement in Karnataka

Types of Hip Replacement

Total hip replacement replaces both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) with prosthetic components and is the most common approach for advanced arthritis. Partial hip replacement (hemiarthroplasty) replaces only the femoral head, often used for certain fractures in older patients, and minimally invasive or anterior-approach techniques use smaller incisions with less muscle disruption, potentially speeding early recovery in suitable candidates.
