Where possible, hip surgery will be completed using minimally invasive techniques. This means that a hip prosthesis will be inserted through an incision that is generally less than 10cm. This involves more splitting and less cutting of the muscles, meaning that there is less blood loss, faster recovery and a more cosmetic scar.

You may need to undergo knee surgery for a number of reasons, and so the type of implant or replacement will reflect this.
