What is Anterior Hip Surgery?
Anterior hip replacement surgery is a minimally invasive technique where the surgeon accesses the hip joint from the front instead of the side or back which are muscle cutting procedures. The direct anterior approach preserves muscle integrity and reduces recovery time. It is highly effective for patients with:
- Hip osteoarthritis
- Hip fractures
- Avascular necrosis
- Chronic hip pain limiting mobility
- Post traumatic arthritis
