Anterior Hip Replacement
Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement
Compared to the more common approach on the back of the hip, replacement from the front of the hip (anterior approach) represents an important advance. Research has shown that anterior approach hip arthroplasty results in a faster recovery and minimizes risks associated with the operation such as muscle damage, blood loss, and instability. Dr. Fournier has extensive experience with the anterior approach, and has even published articles describing its effectiveness.
Eliminate Chronic Hip Pain
Total hip replacement is one of the most successful procedures we offer, and has very high satisfaction rates when compared to other orthopedic and non-orthopedic operations. Dr. Fournier’s patients are walking on their new hip from day one, and the vast majority are able to be performed without a lengthy hospital stay.
