Understanding the Benefits of Anterior Hip Replacement

The idea of having a hip replaced is a daunting one. Thankfully, advances in medicine over the years have made procedures like these easier to undergo and recover from, and the anterior hip replacement is no exception. It utilizes smaller incisions and a muscle-splitting technique that disrupts less tissue and allows you to heal faster.

What are some of the other benefits of anterior hip replacement?

• Decreased pain, which reduces the need for narcotics
• Early independent mobilization due to a decreased dependence on assistive devices
• Increased likelihood of going home sooner compared to other techniques
• Less precautions need to be taken after the procedure, which means there are no special pillows or motion restrictions
• Improved movement outcomes initially after surgery
• A faster recovery can mean thousands of dollars saved in medical bills compared to traditional surgery and a shorter absence from work, meaning there’s less of a lapse in your pay
