The latest minimally invasive surgical techniques offer a faster recovery and better maintenance of walking pattern. The anterior approach of reaching the joint from the front requires a small incision and avoids the cutting of muscle; unlike standard hip replacement, where the joint is approached from back side and requires muscles to be cut. Moreover, this anterior approach makes the patient pain free in shorter time, and reduces the recovery time and overall muscle disruption.
Most of the patients resume walking at the earliest and have good strength. Further, the implants made from a combination of plastic and ceramic offer better results than those developed in the past. Newer implants provide more comfort as they match well with the natural anatomy, resist wear and tear, and give an enhanced range of motion and reduce risk of joint dislocation.
