Minimal Invasive Approach

The minimally invasive procedure is carried out through a small posterior incision. The incision in conventional hip replacement surgery is typically
25 – 30cms, with minimal invasive surgery, it is reduced to 5.5 – 9 cms in length.

The procedure is of benefit for older patients facing conventional hip replacement and for younger patients who are not suitable for hip resurfacing. Implants for this procedure have been accepted by NICE (National Institution of Clinical Excellence).
