Hip Reconstruction

 

Our surgeons have performed more than 6,000 hip replacements, improving the quality of life for patients throughout Greater Boston. We have expertise in many forms of hip surgery, depending on your unique needs.

Advanced care for hip surgical options


Hip Arthroscopy

In this minimally invasive procedure, the surgeon inserts a tiny camera through a small incision in the hip and views the joint on a video monitor. The surgeon repairs cartilage or bone damage with a tiny instrument inserted through a separate incision. We perform hip arthroscopy as outpatient surgery, and recovery time depends on the problems addressed in surgery.

Total Hip Replacement (Total Hip Arthroplasty)

We perform total hip replacement surgery to replace an arthritic or badly damaged hip joint with artificial parts. The artificial part is called a prosthesis and can be made of many different materials, including metal, polyethylene (plastic), ceramic, or a combination of these. Your surgeon will choose the prosthesis that is best for you. The goal of a total hip replacement surgery is to increase mobility and lessen pain.

Revision Hip Replacement (Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty)

Revision hip replacement involves replacing a hip implant that has worn out or failed with a new implant.

Surgery and Beyond

The duration of total hip replacement surgery is typically between two and three hours, depending on the condition of your hip, your size and which procedure we perform. Your surgeon will give you an estimate of how long the surgery will take.

Our surgeons and the Kaplan Joint Center’s internist follow up after surgery to ensure your recovery goes smoothly. You’ll receive regular physical therapy and occupational therapy during your stay. Many of our physical therapists have specialty training and advanced certifications in orthopedics, and they can offer a recovery and treatment plan tailored to your post-operative needs. The therapy program emphasizes mobility, range of motion, and strengthening. We also provide case management services to coordinate the transition home or to an extended-care facility.

You can continue their recovery process as an outpatient at the Newton-Wellesley Ambulatory Care Center - Newton, which features an aquatic therapy pool.

Most of our patients are back to their normal activities from six weeks to six months after surgery, depending on their preoperative health, the specific procedure we perform, physical therapy, and other factors.

Know What to Expect from Hip Reconstruction Surgery

Our Joint Replacement Surgery Guide provides an overview of what to expect before, during, and after your surgery.
