The bipolar hip operation is usually performed on older patients suffering from a dislocated fracture. The operation is swift, and the patient can start the rehabilitation program the next day.

Indications

• Intended for hemiarthroplasty for patients with massive acetabular deficiencies which do not permit secure fixation of the acetabular component.
• Hip instability caused by a deficiency of the abductors is a relative indication.
• If patient has no abductor musculature, bipolar implant provides added stability against dislocation.
