Total Hip Replacement
Overview
Hip replacement is a surgical option for patients with hip arthritis causing pain, stiffness, and loss of function.
When nonoperative treatments are no longer effective, replacing the damaged joint can relieve pain and restore movement.
Who This Is For
Hip replacement may be appropriate if you are experiencing:
-
Persistent hip or groin pain
-
Difficulty walking, standing, or climbing stairs
-
Stiffness limiting daily activities
-
Pain that no longer improves with medications, injections, or therapy
My Approach
I use modern, precision-based techniques tailored to each patient.
Most hip replacements are performed using a direct anterior (muscle-sparing) approach,
allowing muscles to be gently moved rather than cut.
Robotic-assisted technology (Mako) is used in the majority of cases to support:
-
Precise implant positioning
-
Improved alignment
-
Individualized planning based on your anatomy
Technology supports the procedure—but outcomes are driven by careful planning, experience,
and attention to detail.
Recovery
Recovery is structured and designed to get you moving safely as soon as possible.
-
Patients can expect to begin walking the same day as surgery
-
Many patients are candidates for outpatient (same-day) surgery
-
Physical therapy begins early to support strength and mobility
-
Return to daily activities occurs progressively over the following weeks
When to Consider Surgery
Hip replacement is considered when:
-
Pain is affecting quality of life
-
Function is limited
-
Nonoperative care is no longer effective
The goal is not just pain relief—but restoring reliable, comfortable movement.
