The Benefits of Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery
13/08/2014
Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery is an option for people suffering from worn or damaged hip joints, often caused by osteoarthritis - the most common disease of the joints.
This minimally invasive technique allows a surgeon to perform hip surgery with specially designed equipment making just one or two small incisions, as opposed to the traditional method which involves making an incision of around 10-12 inches.
Most of our Orthopaedic Surgeons at France Surgery specialise in this procedure which is not just about the size of the incision, but in fact about a full non-invasive technique without any muscular section, as there are significant benefits to the patient.
The Benefits of Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery
- Smaller Incision (just 3 to 4 inches)
- Reduced Pain
- Less muscle trauma to the deep muscle tissues and underlying structure of the hip
- Minimal scarring
- Reduced risk of dislocation
- Faster recovery and more rapid return to normal life
This operation is one of the most reliable and common in orthopaedic surgery with a positive consistent outcome of reducing arthritic pain for patients, and in some cases, eliminating the pain completely.
