If your hip shows advanced wear (arthrosis) and fysiotherapy has no effect on your complaints, surgical placement of a hip prosthesis can be considered. The orthopedic surgeon has the choice of two operative options.
The dorso-lateral approach can be chosen in which the hip is replaced from the back (buttock region) of the hip joint
A second option is the anterolateral approach where the prosthesis is placed from the front of the hip joint.
Your attending physician will decide in consultation with you which surgical technique is the best solution for your hip problem. After the operation, it is important to make an appointment with one of our specialists within a week fysiotherapists. This way we can get to work with you quickly and work on restoring the mobility of your hip and improving the load capacity.
