Minimally Invasive Surgery
Instruments have been designed that allow for smaller incision surgery. This is reflected in less tissue damage and slightly quicker recovery rates. The wounds are also a little smaller. It must be pointed out, however, that six months following the surgery there is no difference in the outcome between a standard incision hip and a mini incision hip.
Navigation is the latest technology that allows more accurate placement of the components to re-establish the normal hip biomechanics. This new technology is still evolving.
