Hip replacement has become necessary for your arthritic hip: this is one of the most effective operations known and should give you many years of freedom from pain.

Hip hemiarthroplasty is a procedure used to treat hip fractures that is like a total hip replacement but only part of the hip is replaced. While this procedure is used to treat hip fractures, it is also used to treat hip arthritis. The recovery process is very similar to that of a total hip replacement. You will have to go through physical therapy to regain both strength and flexibility in the hip. If the operation is successful and there are no complications, you should enjoy a long, healthy use of your new hip.
During a hip hemiarthroplasty, the head of the damaged thighbone (femur) is replaced with an implant that stabilizes the femur while restoring function to the hip. When the head of the femur is removed, the inside of the femur is hollowed out, and a metal stem is placed snugly inside the femur. Unlike a total hip replacement, only the ball or head of the femur is replaced. In a total hip replacement, both the ball of the femur and the entire hip socket are replaced.
This procedure is done either under general anesthesia, meaning you will be asleep, or with a regional anesthetic, which means your legs will be numb, but you will be awake.
If you have fractured your hip or have serious hip arthritis, a complete hip replacement may be necessary to restore function to your hip. If the femoral head is broken, but the acetabulum is intact, you may be a good candidate for a hemiarthroplasty.
