Minimally Invasive Hip & Knee Replacement
In a minimally invasive hip or knee replacement, your doctor makes a smaller incision than in traditional joint replacement. This means less tissue damage, a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery.
You may have this type of surgery if:
- Your joint is stable
- You don’t have severe bone loss
- You have not had open surgery on the joint
- Your weight is appropriate for your height
