| | Anterior Hip Replacement |
| | The Anterior Approach is a proven technique that minimizes the pain and the time from surgery to recovery. | | | The most important muscles for hip function, the gluteal muscles that attach to the pelvis and femur, are left undisturbed and, therefore, do not require a healing process to recover from surgical trauma. | | | Many people suffering with arthritis, hip pain, stiffness and limited hip movement can now choose minimally invasive surgery when hip replacement is the chosen treatment of the patient and their doctor. |
