Partial hip implants are medical devices used to replace only a portion of the hip joint, typically the femoral head. This type of implant is often recommended for patients with specific conditions, such as fractures or arthritis, where the acetabulum (the socket) remains healthy. The goal is to relieve pain and restore mobility while preserving as much natural bone as possible. The procedure for inserting a partial hip implant is less invasive than total hip replacement, leading to shorter recovery times. Surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure proper alignment and function of the implant, which can significantly improve the quality of life for patients.
