Hip Replacement

During a hip replacement procedure, your damaged hip joint is replaced with implants that recreate the ball and socket of a healthy hip. This can reduce pain and restore your hip function.

We offer both the anterior and posterior approach to hip replacement surgery. In some cases, we also offer a minimally invasive approach, called a Mini-Posterolateral hip replacement, when patients might benefit from this technique.

The Anterior Approach for total hip replacement involves pushing muscles apart instead of cutting them away from the bone and detaching them. This may lead to a quicker recovery and faster return to normal function after the operation.  It also results in fewer post-op restrictions than with other types hip replacement surgeries which many patients see as a real benefit.
