Zimmer MIS Anterolateral Hip Procedure PDF Print E-mail

Sunday, 09 July 2006
Orthopaedics: Presbyterian Hospital will feature a Zimmer MIS Anterolateral Hip Procedure in a live webcat at 4:00 PM MT / 6:00 PM ET (22:00 UTC).

The procedure is a muscle sparing approach to total hip arthroplasty. The 6-10 cm incision courses between the glutei and the tensor fascia lata muscles directly to the hip capsule. This intermuscular interval through a small incision provides good exposure for total hip replacement and preserves muscle integrity so that rehabilitation may be rapid and the posterior capsule can remain intact, easing concerns about posterior dislocation. Among the goals of this minimally invasive technique are shorter hospital stays, lower blood loss, and a more cosmetically appealing surgical scar.

Orthopaedics: Dr. David Harwood will perform a Computer-Assisted Hip Replacement Surgery. See this live at 2:00 PM EDT (18:00 UTC).

Because a patient's bone arrangements are specific to the individual and can change during surgery, a computer is used to constantly keep track of critical information such as the position of the patient's leg and pelvis to help ensure the surgeon accurately inserts the implant. A more accurate placement of the implant ensures better outcomes for the patient. This procedure is also less invasive, which means smaller scarring, less physical therapy and a quicker return to normal activities for the patient.
