Minimally-Invasive Hip Replacement Surgery

May 9, 2013

The pain of arthritis in the hip joints can sometimes become unbearable. Hip replacement surgery can provide relief. Many surgeons are now using minimally-invasive techniques for this kind of procedure. They involve smaller incisions than traditional methods, and don't require the surgeon to cut through the muscle tissue surrounding the affected area.

The non-invasive surgery allows the patient to recover fairly quickly. It's also less expensive than traditional hip replacement surgery.
