Mini Incision For Total Hip Arthroplasty

Total hip replacement has been traditionally perfomed through incisions and dissections which are from 9-12 inches in length. The mini-incision is a modification of the standard hip approach using new customized instruments and a skin incision of 3-4 inches in length. Studies have shown that with the mini-incision total hip replacement recovery is faster, blood loss is less and patient satisfaction is very high.
