Both bipolar hip replacement and total hip replacement (THR) are surgical procedures designed to address hip joint issues, but they differ in purpose, design, and scope.

Bipolar Hip Replacement:

A type of partial hip replacement where the femoral head is replaced with a two-piece prosthetic system. The acetabulum (hip socket) is left intact. It is mainly used for conditions like fractures of the femoral neck.

Total Hip Replacement (THR):

A complete replacement of both the femoral head and the acetabulum with artificial prosthetics. It is used for advanced Arthritis, avascular necrosis, or other chronic conditions causing joint damage.
