Hip Treatments and Procedures

Problems with your hip can be caused by a number of things, so it’s always best to see a physician to get an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan. We routinely perform several hip treatments at The Orthopedic Clinic, including:

Anterior Approach Hip Replacement

Performed on a special Hana table made of carbon fiber, we use an X-ray during anterior approach hip replacement procedures to assist in successfully placing the replacement components. The advantages of our approach include:

• Less cutting of the muscles
• Faster recovery
• Less pain after the procedure
• Lower risk of hip dislocation
• May be performed as an outpatient procedure

Posterior Approach Hip Replacement

For this minimally invasive approach, we use muscle-sparing techniques through a small incision, repairing and reattaching the muscles at the end of surgery. The advantages of our approach include:

• Faster recovery
• Less pain after the procedure
• May be performed as an outpatient procedure

Birmingham Hip Resurfacing

Some patients may qualify for a Birmingham hip resurfacing procedure, which removes a few centimeters of bone, shaping it to fit tightly inside the Birmingham hip resurfacing implant. The advantages of our approach include:

• Less bone removal
• Lower risk of hip dislocation
• Lower risk of revision
• May be performed as an outpatient procedure

Hip Arthroscopy

We insert a small camera into the hip through small incisions, which helps us diagnose and repair problems inside the hip joint. This minimally invasive approach can lead to a faster recovery with fewer complications. Often called hip scope, hip arthroscopy is a minor procedure when compared to other replacement surgeries — requiring minimal recovery time and being less invasive.

Can Hip Replacement be Done as an Outpatient Surgery?

Advances in medicine and surgical procedures have made ambulatory surgery possible — even for total hip replacements. Outpatient surgery for hip replacements isn’t for everybody. Whether or not you can have a hip replacement done as an outpatient surgery depends on a variety of factors, including:

• Whether you can take care of yourself at home
• Severity of your hip replacement
• Family history and conditions specific to your hip replacement
• Your overall health
