Medical advancements in surgical instrumentation and technique have made this traditionally major surgery a minor inconvenience for modern day hip-replacement candidates. The "new and improved" far surpasses the "old and outdated" in terms of minimizing trauma; reducing complications; and hastening patient recovery. The chart below speaks for itself.


Traditional vs. MIS Hip Replacement

As you can see, Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement cuts the recovery time in half over traditional hip replacement surgery. Thanks to a smaller incision, the operation itself becomes less invasive and more precise. This results in many benefits, including:
• Less anesthesia
• Decreased blood loss
• Minimized soft tissue trauma and dissection
• Reduced post-operative pain, which means less pain medication during recovery
• Lower risk of complications, including heart and lung problems
