In a Direct Anterior Hip Replacement, the painful parts of the damaged hip are replaced with artificial hip parts called a prosthesis, a device that substitutes or supplements a joint. The prosthesis consists of three components: a socket, ceramic ball, and stem.
The Zimmer MIS Direct Anterior hip replacement procedure allows implants to be inserted through a 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-inch incision, as opposed to the 10- to 12-inch incision in traditional hip surgery. Underneath the skin, there is less trauma since the Zimmer MIS procedures go between muscles or cut less muscle.
Compared with traditional hip replacement, the direct anterior mini-incision procedure can offer a shortened hospital stay to 1 day or outpatient, faster rehabilitation, and immediate weight bearing.
