What is Bipolar Hip Replacement?
Bipolar hip replacement is a type of partial hip replacement procedure where only the head of the femur is replaced, while the acetabulum (hip socket) is left intact. This procedure is often recommended for patients with fractures in the neck of the femur or elderly patients with limited mobility. It aims to relieve pain and restore movement without needing a total hip replacement.

Recovery Expectations
Hospital Stay: Usually 2-3 days.
Initial Mobility: Walking with assistance begins within 1-2 days after surgery.
Physical Therapy: Starts soon after surgery to restore strength and mobility.
Full Recovery: Typically takes 6-8 weeks, depending on the patient's age and general health.
Bipolar hip replacement only replaces the femoral head, while total hip replacement involves both the femoral head and the hip socket.
It is often recommended for elderly patients or those with specific types of hip fractures, particularly in cases where total hip replacement is unnecessary.
The procedure usually takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Risks include infection, blood clots, and dislocation, but these are minimized with advanced techniques and proper care.
