In muscle-sparing hip replacement, the hip joint is approached through a small incision below the groin fold (approximately 7-12 cm).
The procedure is performed between the muscles, so no muscles need to be cut, minimizing tissue damage.
Unlike traditional methods, this approach better preserves the muscles, which typically results in less pain and a smoother rehabilitation.
A muscle-sparing hip replacement is a modern technique where the surgeon accesses the hip joint through natural openings between the muscles.
A revision total hip replacement is a second (or later) operation on a previously placed hip prosthesis.
