With this type of surgery, there is less invasion. The surgeon simply goes through the tensor and rectus muscles at their natural interval. This allows the hip replacement to be put in, without the need for cutting or removing muscles. The new hip is simply slipped between these muscles and put into place.
Though there is invasion in the bone tissue, this does not cause as many pain and mobility issues as when the muscle tissue is cut. There are no permanent mobility issues after the surgery, making it a much more preferred method of hip replacement.
With a traditional hip surgery, patients were very limited in their activity while they were healing. They could not bend in any way and this made sitting on the toilet or in a chair impossible. It also made it difficult to sit in a car. With a Scottsdale Anterior Hip Replacement, there are no limitations. Patients are encouraged to begin their normal range of motion as soon as they feel comfortable enough to do so. There are no limiting restrictions and patients will even be allowed to walk up and down stairs before they are even released from the hospital.
Those who have this surgery are able to heal much faster than traditional hip surgery. By being able to move in a normal manner, patients are able to recover faster and have better peace of mind. This makes the entire process of healing much more successful.
