A member asked:
Minimally invasive hip replacement surgery is this a proven method for hi replacemnent. just wondering due to this being a rather new procedure.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not new: This is not a new procedure, there are a few different types of minimally invasive techniques. If it were me, i would not care about scar length if it compromised my surgeons ability to place a well-aligned prosthesis.
