Total Hip Replacement (THA)

Total hip replacement surgery consists of a specially designed ball and socket that replaces your worn hip joint. The ball and stem replace the worn ball of your thighbone (femur). A cup replaces the rough hip socket (pelvis). The implant has smooth surfaces that fit together and allow the ball to move easily and painlessly within the socket, much like a healthy hip.

Drs. Lombardi and Berend utilize the following minimally invasive techniques to treat a problem hip which can often result in quicker recovery times:
 

• Less Invasive Direct Lateral approach is a minimally invasive technique to hip replacement where the incision is potentially one-half to one-third the size of a typical hip replacement.

• Anterior Supine Intramuscular (ASI) approach is a minimally invasive technique to hip replacement designed to preserve muscles and reduce trauma to the surrounding tissues.
