The minimally invasive total
hip replacement was developed by Dr. Swanson after being introduced
to the concept in early
1997. Dr. Swanson began using the technique in May of 1997 and has continued
to make improvements that now allow reliable surgery and reproducibly
good results in most patients. Standardization of the technique has allowed
teaching to other surgeons. Numerous physicians and orthopedic companies
have shown interest in promoting “minimally invasive surgery” for
total hip replacements.
The minimally invasive technique utilizes a 3-4
inch incision, much smaller than the 8-10 inch approach historically
used for hip replacement. Patients require less anesthesia and pain medication,
and mobilize more quickly. This results in both quicker recovery for
the patient and a lower incidence of complications.
Patients typically recover from minimally
invasive surgery in about half the time it takes to recover from standard
incision surgery (6 weeks vs. 12 weeks).
