- Direct Anterior Approach Total Hip Replacement
Our Orthopaedic team members were among the first in Virginia to offer the anterior approach total hip replacement. During an anterior operation, the surgeon works from the front of the hip, enabling them to avoid cutting muscles and tissues. This proven surgical method can allow for quick recovery, less scarring, reduced pain and a speedy return to regular activities. The Bon Secours Orthopaedic Institute offers this procedure at each of our joint and spine centers. -
Hip Resurfacing
Hip resurfacing is a procedure that removes less bone than a traditional hip replacement by replaces the arthritic surfaces of the joint. For younger patients hip resurfacing can prolong the need for a total hip joint replacement as they age.
Hip replacement surgery enjoys a high success rate – 90 percent. Recovery times vary, but most patients start resuming normal activities within six to eight weeks. Physical therapy can play an important role in helping you regain stability and mobility. In all cases, our orthopaedic specialists and physical therapy team collaborate closely with patients to ensure that the best decisions are made and the best outcomes achieved.
