Hip replacement surgery includes total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hemiarthroplasty (HAP). Hemiarthroplasty of the hip involves replacement of the diseased, affected, or broken femoral head and/or neck with a prosthetic component. Hemiarthroplasty does not involve resurfacing of the acetabulum, and therefore a bipolar or unipolar prosthetic head articulates against the host acetabular articular cartilage. Avoiding the need, when appropriate, to resurface the acetabulum helps to minimize surgical trauma, operative time and dislocation risk, while preserving acetabular bone stock. These also result in shorter bed stay and faster recovery comparing with the THA.
