Hip Replacement

Hip replacement surgery, also known as total hip arthroplasty, is a procedure to replace a damaged or worn-out hip joint. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals suffering from severe hip pain and stiffness due to conditions such as arthritis, fractures, or other hip injuries. At Carondelet Medical Group, we, offer some of the most advanced techniques and technologies to perform these life changing procedures.

Common Hip Replacement Procedures

Our orthopedic surgeons employ muscle sparing techniques during hip replacement surgery to preserve as much healthy tissue as possible. By avoiding unnecessary damage to muscles and tendons, these techniques facilitate a smoother recovery process and help patients regain mobility and function in their hip joint more quickly.

The Direct Superior total hip approach is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows our surgeons to access the hip joint through a small incision on the upper thigh. This minimally invasive muscle preserving technique utilizes a smaller incision located at the upper thigh and gluteal region, reduces post-operative pain, promoting a smoother recovery and quicker return to normal activities for patients.

Some of our surgeons incorporate the use of Robotic Assisted Joint Replacement technology (MAKO) designed to enhance the precision and accuracy of the procedure. This allows for meticulous and customizable planning and execution of the desired outcome.

Post-Operative Care Instructions

After hip replacement surgery, it is important to follow the advice of your doctor regarding activities and suggested pain management protocols. For specific instructions regarding your surgeons' protocols, please visit our surgeons post-operative care page on our website.
