22 cze 2022 · Bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) is a surgical treatment for femoral neck fractures of the hip. An artificial joint with two bearings replaces the damaged joint. The bearings allow the head to...
This protocol applies to the standard total hip arthroplasty/hemiarthroplasty and hip resurfacing. In a revision total hip arthroplasty, or in cases where there is more connective tissue involvement or bone grafting, Phase I and II should be progressed more cautiously to ensure adequate healing.
Hip Hemiarthroplasty (Bipolar) This surgical procedure replaces the head of a damaged femur with an implant designed to stabilize the femur and restore hip function. Unlike total hip replacement, in which both the ball of the femur and the hip socket are replaced, in this procedure, only the ball is replaced.
The purpose of hip hemiarthroplasty, THA, and hip resurfacing is to reduce pain, restore function and correct deformity by improving the biomechanics of the hip joint. This is done by replacing the damaged joint with a prosthetic implant, realigning the soft tissues, and eliminating structural and functional deficits.
15 gru 2021 · A hemiarthroplasty of hip can be either unipolar or bipolar. A unipolar hip prosthesis has a one-piece design where the hip movement occurs between the prosthesis head and the native acetabulum. Unipolar prostheses are broadly of two types, Austin Moore and Thompson prosthesis.
The long-term survivorship of bipolar hemiarthroplasty prostheses used to treat displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly was high, and the procedure can be considered definitive for the majority of elderly patients with a femoral neck fracture.
12 sie 2019 · We aimed to clarify the possibility of using bipolar hip arthroplasty (BHA) for degenerative diseases by examining long-term results postoperatively in 336 hips. Patients’ average age was 61.0 years (range, 34–88 years), and the average follow-up period was 12.5 years (range, 5.0–27.3 years).
