You
may be a candidate for a new type of hip replacement surgery. Surgeons are
now performing minimally-invasive hip replacement. Minimally Invasive Hip
Replacement makes surgery easier on you. Thanks to a smaller incision, there
is less trauma to underlying muscle and soft tissue. The result? Patients benefit from a smaller scar, less post-operative pain and a faster return to normal activities. In fact, Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement allows recovery in half the time of traditional hip replacement surgery.1 The thought of major surgery is enough to make most people cringe. Anesthesia, pain medication, blood loss, hospital time and complications – all these can be significantly reduced with minimally invasive surgery (MIS).1,2 You can get back to your life, back to what is important, faster and with less downtime than ever before. 1.
