Total hip replacement means replacing your femur head (ball) and acetabulum (socket) with an artificial prosthesis. Total hip replacement is done when your hip is diseased like arthritis or AVN hip or femur neck fracture. In femur neck fracture if the age of the patient is above 70 or the patient has many comorbidities then partial/hemi replacement of the joint is done i.e. only the femoral component is replaced. Hip replacement is of two types- cemented and un-cemented. Both have their own advantage and disadvantage. Generally cemented prosthesis is used when bone quality is poor. Both implants have an excellent outcome.
