Minimal Incision Hip Replacement (Visit this link)
It is now possible in the majority of older patients to perform Total Hip Replacement through an incision approximately 3 inches in length. Patients who have unusual anatomy or fixed contractures may not be suitable. At the end of the day, it is more important that the components used are correctly orientated and firmly fixed in place than the length of the scar.
