Riverside Total Hip Replacement
Today, total hip replacement surgery is a common procedure done to relieve pain and debilitation caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fractures, dislocations, and other hip-related problems, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Over 231,000 hip replacements are done each year in this country, and a very low percentage need further surgery.
Anterior Hip Replacement
Anterior hip replacment is a great alternative for patients considering hip surgery. During the procedure, surgeons are able to reach the hip joint from the front of the hip instead of the side or the back. This way, no muscle is detached from the femur or pelvis.
