Minimally-Invasive Hip Replacement
What is Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement?
Traditionally, hip replacement surgery required a large incision along the side of the hip. Today, many patients benefit from a newer, minimally invasive technique that uses one or two much smaller incisions. This approach reduces muscle disruption during surgery, leading to less pain, a quicker recovery, and a faster return to everyday activities.
What Conditions is Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement Indicated For?
Hip replacement surgery is often a highly effective treatment for conditions like osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, and avascular necrosis, especially when joint damage is severe and other treatments no longer help. Minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty uses smaller incisions and less disruption to muscles and surrounding tissues compared to traditional techniques. This approach can lead to less postoperative pain, faster recovery, better mobility, and a smaller, more discreet scar—all while maintaining the accuracy and success of the joint replacement.
