What is a bipolar hemiarthroplasty?

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.

What is the difference between unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty?

Hemiarthroplasty means replacing the hip joint with a metal prosthesis. Unipolar prostheses has a one-piece design where the hip movement occurs between the prosthesis and the acetabulum (hip socket). A bipolar prosthesis has an additional artificial joint between the two components of the prosthesis.

When should a Hemiarthroplasty be done?

A hemiarthroplasty is typically done immediately after a fall or other injury that caused a hip fracture, so there’s usually little you can do to prepare. The procedure requires an in-hospital stay of at least a couple of days.

What is difference between total hip replacement and bipolar hemiarthroplasty?

Total Hip Arthroplasty is reportedly superior to Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty in terms of hip pain, function and reoperation rate. Total Hip Arthroplasty has a higher rate of dislocation rate than Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty.

Is there surgery for bipolar?

No surgical care is indicated for bipolar disorder. Historically, treatment was attempted with psychosurgical procedures, such as prefrontal lobotomy. However, lobotomy is no longer used in the clinical care of patients with bipolar disorder.

What is the difference between unipolar depression and bipolar disorder?

Unipolar depression and bipolar depression share the same symptoms with three main differences: 1) Bipolar depression is more episodic than unipolar, 2) Bipolar depression is always on the edge of mania, and 3) Due to the mania risk, bipolar depression treatment is different than unipolar depression treatment.

What is the average hospital stay for a hip replacement?

The typical hospital stay after hip replacement is one night, but some patients stay longer, while others go home on their surgery day.

What is the recovery time for hip fracture surgery?

Most people are able to return to work 4 weeks to 4 months after surgery. But it may take 6 months to 1 year for you to fully recover. Some people, especially older people, are never able to move quite as well as they used to. You heal best when you take good care of yourself.

What is the best method for hip replacement?

The posterior approach to total hip replacement is the most commonly used method and allows the surgeon excellent visibility of the joint, more precise placement of implants and is minimally invasive.

Are there hip precautions with a hemiarthroplasty?

Hip precautions are unnecessary after hemiarthroplasty, cost money both in therapist time and equipment provision and increase the length of hospital stay. Nevertheless, they continue to be used by three-quarters of trauma hospitals in England.

How does a hip hemiarthroplasty ( bipolar ) procedure work?

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.

How is a modular bipolar femoral head replacement surgical technique?

Zimmer®Modular Bipolar Femoral Head Replacement Surgical Techniue5 When correctly assembled the edge of the Insert is aligned with the edge of the Bipolar Shell (Fig. 9). Fig. 9

How is the femur replaced in hip hemiarthroplasty?

How do you assemble a bipolar II instrument?

Remove the Bipolar Assembly Adapter from the post of the Bipolar II Assembly Instrument. Place the femoral head on the instrument post (Fig. 10). Hold the assembled Bipolar Shell and Insert over the femoral head and turn the knob to position the instrument cup over the assembled Bipolar Shell and Insert (Fig. 11).
