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...
15 gru 2021 · The purpose of this study was to compare the functional and radiological outcome of cemented unipolar vs modular bipolar hemiarthroplasty in displaced femoral neck fracture in elderly patient population. Methods: It is a prospective randomized study, with 44 patients in each group.
In the case of bipolar hemiarthroplasty, the procedure involves replacing the damaged femoral head with a prosthetic component with a two-part design: an inner head and an outer cup. This design allows the head to swivel within the outer cup, which helps reduce wear and tear on the new joint.
13 lip 2024 · What is a Bipolar Hip Prosthesis? Imagine a ball and socket joint which is your hip joint. In a healthy hip, the ball (femoral head) at the top of the thighbone fits snugly into the socket (acetabulum) of the pelvis.
30 lis 2011 · A bipolar prosthesis is a “ball within a ball” or a “head within a head.” It has two mobile articular surfaces rather than one. A small metallic femoral head sits on top of the normal femoral stem.
14 sie 2024 · What is Bipolar Hip Replacement? Bipolar hip replacement is a type of partial hip replacement where the femoral head (the ball) is replaced with a prosthetic implant. Unlike total hip replacement, which replaces both the ball and the socket, bipolar hip replacement involves only the femoral head.
10 lis 2020 · When the wear of acetabular cartilage is relatively slight, the bipolar prosthesis functions largely as a unipolar device, with movement occurring primarily at the outer bearing, even during the gait examination in Group A.
