In California, workers' compensation benefits for a hip replacement typically cover medical expenses related to the surgery, rehabilitation, and any necessary follow-up care. Additionally, if the injury affects the worker's ability to perform their job, they may be entitled to temporary disability benefits during recovery and potentially permanent disability benefits if the injury results in lasting impairment. The exact compensation can vary based on the specifics of the case, including the severity of the injury and the impact on the worker's earning capacity. It’s advisable for injured workers to consult with a workers' compensation attorney to understand their rights and benefits fully.

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.
