Total
Hip Replacement is performed for hips that are painful and
dysfunctional and that are not amenable to joint preserving surgery.
Total Hip Arthroplasty is
the most common
procedure that Dr. Murphy performs. More than 99% of these
operations can be performed with a combination of minimally invasive
and computer-assisted surgery and the majority of patients can return
home the day of or the day after surgery. For more information,
please also
visit the page on minimally invasive hip replacement.
Below
are a series of links to videos and publications that address many of
the scientific aspects of total hip replacement surgery including
implant design considerations and clinical results of total hip
arthroplasty.
