Minimally Invasive Total Hip Replacement
At Golden State Orthopedics & Spine, we’re proud to offer minimally invasive total hip replacement for patients seeking faster recovery and less postoperative discomfort. This advanced surgical technique uses smaller incisions and refined instruments to replace the damaged hip joint while preserving more of the surrounding muscles and soft tissue. This results in less pain, reduced scarring, and a quicker return to normal activities.

What Is Minimally Invasive Total Hip Replacement?
Minimally invasive total hip replacement is a modern approach to traditional hip surgery that provides the same long-term results with smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding tissue. During the procedure, the damaged portions of the hip joint are replaced with precision-fitted implants designed to restore smooth, natural movement.
By working through one or two small incisions, surgeons can minimize muscle and tendon trauma, leading to faster recovery, reduced hospital stays, and a quicker return to daily activities. This technique is beneficial for patients who are in good overall health and wish to maintain an active lifestyle while minimizing recovery time.

Is Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement Right for You?
Minimally invasive hip replacement may be recommended for patients who experience hip pain or stiffness that does not improve with nonsurgical treatments such as physical therapy, medication, or injections. This approach is often chosen for its smaller incisions, reduced muscle disruption, and faster recovery compared to traditional hip replacement. It is commonly used to treat or manage conditions such as:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Avascular necrosis
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- Degenerative joint disease
Your doctor will evaluate your symptoms, activity level, and overall health to determine whether minimally invasive hip replacement is the right option to help restore comfort, movement, and quality of life.
