2-incision hip replacement

If there's anyone out there who has undergone this procedure, I would very much appreciate hearing from you.

Between this new technique, the various mini-incisions, and the standard, it's hard to chose!

Hello Sylvia,

I had a 2 incision LHR procedure done in May at Hackensack University Hospital

in NJ

by Dr. Mark Hartzband. Less trauma, less blood, less pain, faster recovery and

rehab.

I was up and walking and climbing stairs (with crutches) in the recovery room

and out

of the hospital the following day. My staples were removed 13 days later and I

was

able to drive my car home from the doctor's office. I highly recommend this MIS

procedure as long as it's performed by a very experienced surgeon. Dr. Hartzband

is

highly skilled and does up to 10 THR and TKR's 3 days a week and has

successfully

done well over 100 2-incision and 1000 single incision MIS procedures.

Good luck,
