The anterior approach can have advantages for early recovery. Many patients are able to go home in one to two days. However, it often requires a complex table or forceful manipulation of the leg during surgery. The Corin Minihip allows us to preserve bone and perform anterior surgery much more easily due to it’s shape and small size. it has been an excellent alternative to resurfacing in patients who want to preserve bone, have a mini incision, and have a full active lifestyle.

Anterior Hip Replacement

Our anterior hip project continues to progress well. We are able to perform the hip replacement without using special tables or x-ray machines, which makes it quicker and easier to set up. There is also less uncertainty about the placement of the components when I can see them directly. Patients appear to have little to no pain, although, I'll have to collect more data to know for sure. Certainly, they are recovering their function and ability to walk very rapidly.
