Partial hip replacement may be considered when only the femoral head is damaged—often due to injury rather than arthritis. This procedure involves replacing the ball of the hip joint while preserving the natural socket. It can be less extensive than total hip replacement and may offer quicker recovery times in suitable cases.
For patients with arthritis or more extensive joint damage, Dr Khoo performs total hip replacement surgery. This involves replacing both the ball and socket of the hip joint using carefully selected prosthetic components. The goal is to reduce pain and restore function, allowing patients to return to everyday activities more comfortably.
