Hip Replacement Surgeon

The anatomic pathway used to reach the bones of the hip joint is also referred to as the surgical approach. Each surgical approach is a different technique to gain access to the joint itself and exposes the anatomy for a hip replacement or hip resurfacing. The most common hip joint surgical approach used by. surgeons are called the posterior (from the rear) approach. Patients who have had a posterior approach typically have a curved scar on the outside of the thigh with the top part of the scar curving into the buttock. This approach is very popular, easy to learn, predictable, and cuts through a limited amount of muscle and tendon, resulting in good recovery. Even in the hands of very good surgeons, the posterior approach is associated with a small risk of the hip popping out after surgery. Newer techniques and implants have reduced this risk somewhat, but a small possibility of hip dislocation remains associated with the posterior approach. Another common surgical approach to hip replacement is the lateral (from the side) approach. The lateral approach also involves a scar on the side of the thigh, but instead of being curved, the scar is usually a straight line. The advantage of this approach over the posterior approach described above is a lower risk of dislocation. The lateral approach nearly eliminates the risk of dislocation, but the approach involves cutting through more muscle tissue on the way to the hip joint. As a result, patients will usually have a slight limp after surgery, which generally disappears 6 to 12 months following surgery.
