What is the Maximum BMI For Hip Replacement?
A person undergoing hip replacement at 350 pounds may have a different experience than those in lower-weight classes. Let’s delve into the relationship between BMI and hip replacement surgery to find out.

Hip ArthroscopyHip arthroscopy is one of the most cutting-edge areas of orthopedic surgery. The development of highly specialized procedures in hip arthroscopy over the last few years created new options for patients with hip pain, hip injuries, and early arthritis of the hip. These procedures allow athletes to return to their sport, allow workers to return to work, and often prevent or delay the need for joint replacement.

Outpatient Anterior Approach Hip ReplacementThe Direct Anterior Approach is a minimally invasive form of total hip replacement where the incision lies on the front of the thigh. The anterior approach is considered a tissue sparing surgery with an incision generally less than 8cm. The acetabular cup and femoral stem implants are inserted through this incision either under X-ray or Computer Navigated, Robotic guidance (MAKOplasty).
-
Hip ResurfacingHip resurfacing is an alternative surgical procedure to hip replacement for many active patients. Hip resurfacing differs from a hip replacement in that the femoral head and neck are not removed and replaced with synthetic parts. In hip resurfacing, the worn surfaces of the femoral head and acetabulum are smoothed out, and covered with metal bearing surfaces. This allows greater conservation of the patient’s bones.

Stem Cells & Regenerative MedicineRegenerative Medicine is an exciting new field in medicine that treats injuries by harnessing your body’s own regenerative capabilities. When tissues such as ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and muscles are injured, your body uses its own healing ability to rebuild the damaged tissue. Most of the healing factors and important nutrients that are needed for repairing the tissue are brought to the site of injury through your blood vessels.
Our Mission Statement American Hip Institute is the nation’s leader in advanced treatment of the hip, and a destination clinic that provides the best outcomes and patient experience in the world.

"For many years, it has been our approach that repair is the gold standard, and when a labrum has viable tissue, then our go-to approach is to repair it. When there is compromise of the labral tissue and/or that labral tissue is not going to produce a viable repair, then a labral reconstruction offers us an excellent alternative."

"Most stress comes from worrying about the past or the future. One of the things that I love about being a surgeon is that it requires being entirely focused on the present, and on the task at hand. There is no room in surgery for the mind to wander and be stressed by regret or anxiety."
