Direct Anterior Hip Replacement
Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital is improving the surgery experience for some patients by offering a new and improved total hip replacement surgery that speeds recovery time and reduces post-operative pain.
The "direct anterior" approach to total hip replacement involves making an incision on the front of the hip rather than the side or back as traditionally done. As a result, surgeons can follow the natural spaces between the hip joint's muscles and tendons, resulting in less damage to the soft tissues.
Additional advantages of the anterior hip replacement include:
- Reduced hospital stay - from 3-10 days to 2-4 days
- Faster recovery - from 12 weeks to 2-8 weeks
- Less muscle trauma - no muscle detachment
- Reduced pain, blood loss and tissue healing required
- More accurate leg length control
- Reduced risk of post-operative dislocation of the hip implant
