This minimally invasive joint arthroplasty offers many benefits to the patient, including a smaller incision, less pain and less recovery time. A large head metal-on-metal articulation will assist the surgeon with providing a very stable joint while addressing the demand for a strong, less wear articulation. The surgery is performed to replace a degenerative hip joint that has become worn out as a result of arthritis, causing the patient intolerable pain.
