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...
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.
15 gru 2021 · The higher cost of modular bipolar prosthesis precludes its use in patients belonging to lower socioeconomic status. This study aimed to compare the treatment outcome of cemented unipolar and modular bipolar prosthesis in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture.
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.
13 lip 2024 · July 13, 2024. For many struggling with hip pain and limited mobility, hip replacement surgery offers a ray of hope. But within the world of hip replacements, there are different options to consider. One such option is the bipolar prosthesis, a specific type of implant used in a procedure called bipolar hip arthroplasty.
30 lis 2011 · A bipolar arthroplasty has the same femoral stem component as a total hip. It can be converted to a total hip arthroplasty if necessary. Bipolar replacement is most commonly done for fractures. The main indication is a displaced fracture of the femoral neck just below the head of the femur.
15 paź 2020 · The main theoretical advantage of a bipolar femoral prosthesis is decreased acetabular cartilage erosion secondary to shared articulation within the dual-bearing system [3]. This is in contrast to the fixed unipolar femoral prosthesis which articulates directly at the acetabular-implant interface.
