COLUMBUS ANTERIOR HIP REPLACEMENT

Anterior hip replacement is a minimally invasive technique that can be used to achieve the same results as a traditional hip replacement procedure: to replace the worn ends of the bones in the hip joint. The direct anterior approach is not widely used yet, but for an experienced orthopedic surgeon it can offer many advantages over traditional approaches... The difference is how the surgeon opens the body to reach the hip joint. With the direct anterior approach, your specially trained surgeon is able to replace your painful hip through a natural space between the muscles of the anterior (front) portion of your hip, rather than the traditional approach of making the incision on the posterior (back) side... The anterior minimally invasive surgery for total hip replacement is the only technique that allows a true muscle and nerve sparing surgery, which is fundamental for fast recovery.
