Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a surgical procedure that aims to improve patient mobility and alleviate pain by replacing a damaged hip joint with artificial components. This procedure is only recommended for patients who have sufficient healthy bone to support the implants. Both THA and Hemi-Hip Arthroplasty have proven effective in restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving quality of life.
Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)
Generally performed on individuals suffering from severe pain and/or functional disability who maintain adequate natural bone structure.
Primary Clinical Indications
Osteoarthritis & rheumatoid arthritis
Traumatic arthritis & congenital hip dysplasia
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head
Acute traumatic fractures of the femoral head or neck
Failed previous hip surgeries
Specific complex cases of ankylosis
Hemi-Hip Arthroplasty
Indicated when there is evidence of a satisfactory natural acetabulum (hip socket) and sufficient femoral bone mass to support the femoral stem.
Primary Clinical Indications
Acute fractures untreatable with internal fixation
Irreducible fracture dislocations of the hip
Non-union of femoral neck fractures
High subcapital & femoral neck fractures in elderly patients
Degenerative arthritis limited strictly to the femoral head
Pathologies addressing the femoral head/neck or proximal femur
Clinical Decision-Making
The choice between Total Hip Arthroplasty and Hemi-Hip Arthroplasty depends on several critical factors, including the severity and nature of the hip condition, patient age, general health status, as well as the surgeon's clinical expertise and preference. It is important for patients to consult with their orthopedic surgeons to determine the most suitable surgical option based on their individual circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q
What is the difference between Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) and Hemi-Hip Arthroplasty?
Total Hip Arthroplasty involves replacing both the femoral head and the natural acetabulum (hip socket) with artificial components. Hemi-Hip Arthroplasty replaces only the femoral head and neck while preserving the patient's natural, healthy acetabulum.
Q
Who is an eligible candidate for Total Hip Arthroplasty?
THA is recommended for patients who possess sufficient healthy bone stock to support joint implants and suffer from debilitating pain or disability resulting from conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis, or failed previous surgeries.
Q
When is Hemi-Hip Arthroplasty the preferred surgical approach?
Hemi-Hip Arthroplasty is indicated when the patient's natural acetabulum remains healthy and satisfactory, such as in acute femoral neck fractures in elderly patients, irreducible fracture dislocations, femoral neck non-union, or isolated femoral head arthritis.
Q
What material is used in the FDH Femoral Head?
The FDH Femoral Head is manufactured from high-strength Co-Cr-Mo (Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum) Alloy, offering superior wear resistance and biocompatibility for joint replacement procedures.
Q
What size options are available for the FDH Femoral Head?
The FDH Femoral Head is available in diameter sizes of 22 mm (M, L, XL), 28 mm (S, M, L, XL), and 32 mm (S, M, L, XL) to match diverse anatomical requirements.
Q
What regulatory certifications and packaging standards does the implant meet?
The FDH Femoral Head is certified under CE, ISO13485, and NMPA standards. Each unit is supplied in individual sterile packaging with a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 1 piece and a supply capacity exceeding 1,000 pieces per month.
