Minimally invasive hip replacement is a surgical approach that utilizes smaller incisions and specialized instruments to reduce tissue damage and promote quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery. It's associated with less post-operative pain and a shorter hospital stay.

Small Incisions
Instead of one large incision, several smaller incisions are made to access the hip joint, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues.

Specialized Instruments
The surgeon uses specialized tools, including cameras and minimally invasive instruments, to perform the procedure through the smaller incisions.

Muscle-sparing Technique
Minimally invasive hip replacement techniques aim to minimize disruption to surrounding muscles and tendons, leading to less post-operative pain and faster recovery.
