The hip is one of the largest joints in your body. If you are suffering from issues caused by a hip injury or routine wear and tear, our team can help you get back to an active lifestyle. The hip joint is very important for staying active, as it supports your body weight and allows you to move your upper leg. Unfortunately, hip injuries can be common.
- Hip arthroscopy (hip scope)
- Hip arthritis and osteoarthritis
- Hip joint replacement
- Total Hip Replacement
- Partial Hip Replacement
- Anterior Hip Replacement
The best type of hip replacement for a particular patient will depend on factors such as their age, activity level, overall health, and the severity of their hip damage. It is important to consult with an orthopedic surgeon to determine the most appropriate option.
Now Offering Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement Surgery with Hip Navigation
Total hip replacement, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a life-changing surgical procedure that has been transforming the lives of patients suffering from hip pain and mobility issues for many years.
In addition to other traditional hip replacement options, Grant Regional Health Center now offers the Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement surgery. This minimally invasive procedure can provide less pain, faster recovery, and quicker return to daily activities. Different than traditional hip replacement surgery where the incision is on the side or back of the hip and can be much longer, the Direct Anterior Approach incision uses a front approach, preserving muscles and tissues for a smooth recovery.
Our specially trained team utilizes the VELYS™ Hip Navigation, advanced technology for enhanced accuracy and precision. During surgery, a picture called a fluoroscopic image is taken of the hip and analyzed in real time, with the aim of achieving the best alignment and placement for hip implants. This technology may assist in restoring the patient’s leg length, which in turn may lead to better hip stability and preservation of the hip’s natural movement. Due to the ability to verify the desired implant position, the surgeon can potentially reduce the likelihood of hip dislocation and increase the joint’s stability.
