Partial Hip or Shoulder Joint Replacement – Specialized Surgical Procedure

What is Partial Joint Replacement?

Partial joint replacement is a surgical procedure where only the damaged part of the joint is replaced, while the healthy portion is preserved. It is recommended for patients with:

• Severe fractures in the femoral head (hip) or humeral head (shoulder)

• Chronic joint pain due to arthritis or joint degeneration

• Loss of mobility or difficulty performing daily activities

• Ineffectiveness of other treatments such as medications or joint injections

How is the procedure performed?

• Performed under spinal or general anesthesia

• The damaged part is removed and replaced with a prosthetic implant

• Surrounding tissues are preserved to allow for natural movement

• Most patients require physiotherapy post-surgery to regain full function
