Anterior Hip Replacement in Fort Worth, TX

Some studies suggest a modestly faster early recovery with the anterior approach, but long-term results are generally similar across approaches. The surgeon's experience with a given approach typically matters more than the approach itself.

Most hip replacement candidates can have an anterior approach, though body build and prior surgeries can factor in. Your surgeon will advise whether it suits your anatomy.

Early milestones, walking, stairs, driving, may come somewhat sooner for some patients, but by a few months out, outcomes are generally comparable to other approaches.
