I had my anterior hip replacement done on Wednesday, I went home on Thursday, and was in church by Sunday. I am tremendously happy with the procedure, the staff and the results!"
Hip replacement surgery involves removing the head of the thigh bone (femur) and replacing the hip ball-and-socket with artificial implants. With traditional hip replacements, recovery can be lengthy. Instead, we use muscle sparing anterior approach strategies to get you back to normal activity sooner.
Anterior hip replacement allows us to reach the hip joint from the front of the hip instead of the side or back. Unlike traditional replacements, anterior approach means we can replace the joint without disturbing or detaching muscle from the pelvis or femur during surgery. We simply work through the natural separation between the muscles. With an anterior hip replacement, you may be able to immediately bend your hip freely and bear full weight when comfortable, resulting in a faster return to normal function.

The hana® table, at Holland Hospital, allows hyperextension and rotation of the hip for femoral component positioning not possible with conventional tables. The carbon fiber hana® table also allows uninterrupted perioperative imaging for precise fit and leg length refinement.
Faster Recovery, Less Pain- Smaller incision and scar, with less pain
- No detachment of muscles from pelvis or femur, with decreased risk of hip dislocation
- Quicker recovery and shorter hospital stay
- More precise placement of the components, leading to increased longevity of the prosthesis and accurate leg length
- Few, if any, post surgery ‘hip precautions’ and faster return to full function
