Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery

New minimally invasive hip surgery is easier on you. This new procedure far surpasses the older approach in terms of minimizing trauma, reducing complications, and hastening patient recovery. Minimally invasive hip surgery cuts the recovery time in half over traditional hip replacement surgery. Thanks to a smaller incision, there is less trauma to underlying muscle and soft tissue and the operation itself becomes less invasive and more precise.

This creates many patient benefits, including:

  • Less anesthesia
  • Decreased blood loss
  • Reduced post-operative pain, which means less pain medication during recovery
  • Lower risk of complications, including heart and lung problems
  • Faster return to normal activities
