Anterior Approach Total Hip Replacement is a minimally invasive hip replacement and is more than just a shorter incision. Anterior Approach Total Hip Replacement allows minimal disruption to muscle and tendon, making the surgery less traumatic. This approach also reduces hospital stays, recovery time, and there are minimal hip precautions immediately after surgery. The typical incision is about four inches long on the front of the hip, this could vary based on the patient’s... size. The smaller incision is adequate for implanting the artificial hip parts to relieve arthritis pain. Almost all patients are candidates for this procedure. The anterior approach goes between muscles to expose the hip joint which leaves your muscles attached to the femur. Other approaches to the hip either need to split or cut muscles and tendons during surgery. See more

Understand Lipogems: The Natural Way to Heal Using Powerful Fat Our doctors are always looking for ways to advance patient care and provide more options. Most recently, Dr. Spitzfaden and Dr. Rames have been performing a new procedure that gently processes fat tissue in order to help heal patients the natural way. Innovations in orthopaedic medicine show that using fat has the best reparative cells and they do not decline with age. LIPOGEMS is injected precisely into areas ...of the body in order to help establish an environment conducive to tissue healing and repair. LIPOGEMS tend to stay in the area where it is injected instead of being reabsorbed by the body. LIPOGEMS may be ideal for patients looking for an alternative to surgery, or do not qualify for surgery. We are excited to be offering the LIPOGEMS technology.
