.Mini-Invasive Surgery
MIS surgery describes the surgical approach to the Hip Replacement i.e. that is the
way the surgeon operates on your tissues to get to the hip replacement. The actual
components placed in the hip replacement are the same whether MIS is used or a
traditional approach is used.
Mini-Invasive Surgery (MIS) or keyhole surgery for hip replacement offers a less
invasive alternative approach to hip replacement surgery. MIS surgery involves
inserting the hip replacement through a much smaller incision (around 8-12cm) than
the previous incisions of 20-30cm. The real difference in the MIS approach is not
the size or look of the skin incision but what goes on underneath the skin that is
important.
MIS is a new approach to Hip Replacement surgery and hence there are no long-term
studies on the outcomes of this surgery. Early studies are encouraging and show
advantages over the traditional approaches.
no wonder you were in pain before the op...sounds like they needed some elbow room and got the big hammers and chisels outJack.
Hope they were not training the new guy.The problem was I had been walking about wirh a dislocated hip that didnt show on the x ray as it was to cloudy with arthritis.
