Where is the incision for total hip arthroplasty?
The incision is located over the outer aspect of the hip. There is a bone that you can feel on the very outermost aspect of your hip. The incision is usually centered over this bone and is approximately four to six inches in length, running from along the length of the leg and right at the top of the bone on the outer part of the hip, running a bit posteriorly towards the buttock.
