What is the purpose of hip replacement surgery?

Partial hip replacement (PHR) is a surgical procedure that replaces the affected hip joint. The primary purpose of PHR is to restore function and relieve pain. There are several types of partial hip replacement surgery, depending on the damage to the hip joint. Partial hip replacements may also be performed as a first resort when traditional medical treatment, such as medication and physical therapy, has failed to improve symptoms or when other joint replacements are not an option due to medical conditions.

Why do you need hip replacement surgery?

The orthopedist may prescribe partial hip replacement surgery based on the level of damage to the hip joint. It is usually done if a fracture in the femoral neck cannot be repaired and the socket remains intact or undamaged. According to the doctor, only the hip joint ball needs to be replaced. 

Let us examine the grading of a broken neck of the femur to comprehend the extent of damage done to the hip joint and, as a result, why partial hip replacement surgery becomes a viable choice. 

Type 1: The bones are forced together and are not separated. Furthermore, their alignment has not changed much. It’s a relatively stable fracture.

Type 2: The bones shatter, but the alignment of the hip bones remains the same as before the fracture.

Type 3:  An advanced stage of fracture in which the bones have been dislocated, yet there is still some contact between two bone fragments.

Type 4: The fourth grading or stage of a femoral neck fracture. The bones are dislocated during this phase, and there is no contact between bone fragments.
