At OrthoNebraska, we perform total hip replacements from both the front (anterior) and the back (posterior). The posterior approach has been the favored approach for a long time with great long-term clinical results, while the anterior approach is growing in popularity. Long-term, studies have shown no significant difference in outcomes with either approach, so the correct approach is a matter of individual physician and patient preference. As a destination for joint replacement, OrthoNebraska believes in the approach that works best for each individual patient.
If you feel strongly about a particular approach, please let us know when you make an appointment.
