Full range of options to meet your needs
Your hip joint connects the thighbone (femur) and hip in a ball-and-socket formation. These bones are separated by cartilage that cushions the “ball" and allows for smooth motion. When the cartilage is worn down, the bones rub against each other, causing issues that a hip replacement can resolve. We offer a full range of options so that you get the treatment that's best for your situation.
Anterior hip replacement is a unique alternative to conventional hip replacement that allows our surgeons to access the hip joint from the front, or anterior, with one small incision. The procedure involves surgeons working between the muscles and tissues without detaching them from the hip or thighbone, which results in less muscle damage and pain, a quicker return to daily activities and fewer movement limitations in the future.
During partial hip replacement, our surgeons remove only the diseased or damaged bone tissue and cartilage from the hip joint. Then, they replace and resurface the bones in the joint with new, artificial parts, recreating smooth gliding surfaces, which alleviates pain. We use advanced, muscle-sparing techniques to give you the best outcome.
Total hip replacement is a surgery that removes the diseased or damaged ball of the upper thighbone as well as the diseased or damaged cartilage from the hip socket. The ball and socket are then replaced with prostheses. This creates a smoothly functioning joint that doesn't cause pain.
Hip replacements can wear out, loosen, break or become infected. We specialize in revision surgery and use techniques that preserve the most tissue and result in better, longer-lasting outcomes.
