How would I benefit from minimally invasive hip replacement?
This is a new procedure, and there isn’t a lot of peer-reviewed scientific literature yet comparing results of minimally invasive hip replacements with traditional hip replacements. The existing scientific literature is mixed on whether minimally invasive hip surgery offers significant long-term benefit over traditional hip surgery. However, our experience and that of other MIS pioneers has shown that with less tissue damage, coupled with pre-operative medication, intraoperative nerve blocking techniques and early mobilization, there is less pain, a shorter hospital stay and earlier return to usual activities.
