Anterior Approach to Total Hip Replacement

Bill Huang, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with Everett Bone and Joint, talks about the many benefits of the anterior approach to total hip replacement. The Anterior Approach to total hip replacement is an alternative to traditional hip replacement surgery that provides the potential for less pain, faster recovery and improved mobility. Unlike traditional hip replacement surgery, this technique allows the surgeon to work between the muscles and tissues without detaching them from either the hip or thighbones.
