Frequently Asked Questions

The direct anterior approach is a muscle-sparing hip replacement technique where the surgeon accesses the hip joint from the front, working between muscles rather than cutting through them. This typically results in less pain, faster recovery, and fewer hip precautions after surgery.

Modern hip implants typically last 20-25+ years. Many patients' implants last their lifetime. Advances in materials and surgical techniques continue to improve longevity. Your surgeon will discuss expected outcomes based on your specific situation.

Most patients can drive within 2-4 weeks and return to desk work within 2-3 weeks. Low-impact activities like golf and swimming are typically resumed by 6-8 weeks. Full recovery takes about 3-6 months. The direct anterior approach often speeds this timeline.

Hip arthroscopy is ideal for younger, active patients with labral tears, FAI (femoroacetabular impingement), or early cartilage damage—before significant arthritis develops. It's a joint-preserving procedure that can delay or prevent the need for replacement. Your surgeon will recommend the best option based on your imaging and goals.
