Details of Hip Resurfacing - Minimally Invasive

Minimally invasive hip resurfacing (MIS) is a total or partial hip surgery that can be out through an incision of less than 10cm without imparting great forces on the anatomy or compromising component position. The modified posterior MIS approach to hip resurfacing and hip replacement displays a host of advantages to the patient:

• Less post-operative pain
• Less soft tissues damage and pressure on muscle fibers
• Shorter hospital stay
• Lower blood loss
• Smaller incision
• Quicker return to work and functional activities
