Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery

Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago offers a state-of-the-art minimally invasive hip replacement surgery - with a smaller incision, less pain and scarring, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional hip surgery.

With minimally invasive hip surgery, the surgeon uses a much smaller incision. Thus, compared to a traditional hip replacement procedure, which requires one week in the hospital and an additional four days in rehabilitation, the minimally invasive hip replacement requires only four days in the hospital, with less pain during recovery.

And best of all, patients can resume a normal, pain-free routine following surgery - they can walk, stand, perform daily activities and even sleep a full night, which for some may not have been possible before the hip replacement.

Does a minimally invasive approach to hip surgery make a difference? Read a personal account of a man who had a traditional hip replacement on one side, then had a minimally invasive hip replacement at Swedish Covenant Hospital on the other. Learn more >
