Anterior hip surgery is the latest, most natural method of hip replacement. Patients who are candidates for the anterior hip surgery approach realize significant benefits, such as: more muscle spared, fewer dislocations, less need for hip precautions after surgery and less pain.

People move more freely and return to work and recreational activities much earlier – anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks after surgery, depending on the physical demands of their jobs and recreational activities.

"I’ve had more than 40 patients where I’ve performed a posterior approach on one hip and then they come back years later to have the second hip done on the opposite side, and we’ve performed the [second] procedure through an anterior approach. Those people all came back to tell us that this was anywhere from four to five times easier to recover from."
