Hip Replacement Surgery

Types of Hip Replacement Surgeries

The various type of treatment strategies are:

• Posterior approach: It is a process in which the surgeon creates a 4-6 inch hole along the outer buttock to split and detach the gluteus maximus muscle, and reattaches the piriformis muscle and the superior gemellus muscle.
• Anterior approach: It is when the surgeon makes an incision on the front part of the upper thigh, and doesn’t need to cut through the muscle in most cases.
• Hip Preservation Surgery/Hip Arthroscopy: It is performed when the hip joint damage is not severe enough to warrant a hip replacement.
• Total Hip Replacement Surgery: It is a procedure in which the damaged femoral head is removed and replaced with prosthetic components.
