What Is Muscle Sparing Anterior Hip Replacement

Muscle sparing anterior hip replacement is a minimally invasive surgical technique that replaces the hip joint without cutting through muscles or tendons. Instead, the surgeon carefully works between natural muscle planes, preserving the surrounding soft tissue.

Benefits Include

• Smaller incision
• Shorter operative time
• Minimal blood loss
• Shorter hospital stay
• Less postoperative pain
• Minimal soft tissue trauma
• Less scarring
• Quicker recovery
• Early mobilization
• Fewer postoperative restrictions
• Faster return to normal activities
• Lower risk of dislocation

Because no muscles are cut, patients often experience a smoother recovery and a quicker return to normal life compared to traditional hip replacement surgery.

Precision Through Kinematic Alignment

For knee replacement, Dr. Nabet uses a technique called kinematic alignment. This method is designed to restore each patient’s natural joint motion and alignment rather than positioning the implant according to a standardized mechanical axis. By aligning the replacement components to match the patient’s original anatomy, kinematic alignment can result in a more natural feel and greater satisfaction following surgery.

Recovery and Care

After surgery, Dr. Nabet and his care team provide detailed guidance to help each patient achieve a smooth recovery. Through personalized physical therapy and rapid recovery pain control techniques, patients are supported every step of the way as they regain strength, mobility, and confidence.
