    Total Hip Replacement: Anterior Approach

    A total hip replacement is a type of surgery. It replaces your hip joint with an artificial one. It is also called hip arthroplasty. An orthopedic surgeon can do these procedures from behind the hip, to the side of the hip, or from in front of the hip. Total hip replacement with anterior approach refers to surgeries done from in front of the hip. These surgeries may also be called mini, modified, minimally invasive, or muscle-sparing surgeries.

    Fractures

    A fracture is a partial or complete break in the bone. Fractures most often happen when more force is applied to the bone than the bone can take. Overuse or repetitive motions can tire muscles and put more pressure on the bone. This causes stress fractures. This is more common in athletes.

    Hip Resurfacing

    Hip resurfacing is a type of surgery to replace a damaged hip joint. During hip resurfacing, your surgeon makes an incision to access your hip bone and thighbone. Next, he or she trims and caps your femoral head with a smooth metal covering. Your surgeon also removes the part of the damaged bone with the hip bone socket, replacing it with a metal shell.

    Ankylosing Spondylitis

  • Sacroiliac Joint Pain

    Therapeutic Pain Blocks

    If you don't get relief from standard pain relievers, you doctor may suggest injecting pain-relieving medicine into the site of the affected nerve. This injection will block the pain signals the nerve would otherwise send to your brain. If your brain doesn't receive this message of alarm, you won't feel the pain you would normally feel.
