Post-Operative Care
Total Hip Replacement: The entire hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant, including both the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum).
Partial Hip Replacement: Only the femoral head is replaced, typically used in cases of fractures or specific conditions where the socket is still healthy.
Hip Resurfacing: Involves reshaping and capping the femoral head with a smooth metal covering, preserving more of the patient’s natural bone.
