Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement is an advanced surgical approach designed to perform hip replacement through a more tissue-conscious and precise technique compared to traditional methods. This approach aims to reduce disruption to surrounding muscles and soft tissues while effectively treating severe hip joint damage.
Under the expert care of Dr. Vijay A. Kulkarni, Consultant – Orthopaedics & Robotic Joint Replacement, patients receive a thorough evaluation to determine whether a Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement approach is appropriate based on their hip condition, anatomy, severity of joint damage, and overall health.
Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement is a modern hip replacement technique performed using smaller incisions and a more tissue-preserving surgical approach. The goal is to replace the damaged parts of the hip joint while minimizing soft tissue trauma and supporting smoother post-operative recovery in suitable patients.
