Minimally invasive hip replacement surgery is a new type of surgery that can have you back on your feet faster than ever before. Thanks to a smaller incision, there is less trauma to the underlying muscles and soft tissues resulting in a smaller scar, less post-operative pain and a faster return to normal activities. In fact, minimally invasive hip replacement surgery may allow faster recovery compared to traditional hip replacement surgery.¹
