Outpatient Total Hip Replacement

The outpatient total hip replacement surgery is one of the most cutting-edge joint replacement therapies available today. An outpatient procedure is preferred for several reasons, including:

• Reduced risk of infection
• Faster return to normal lifestyle and activities
• More comfortable recovery at your own home

At INOV8 Orthopedics in Houston, our orthopedic surgical team utilizes a combination of surgical experience and advanced technology to strategically plan out your procedure. Our professionals rely on the Corin OPS imaging system to determine the ideal placement of your replacement joint.

The Corin OPS system provides our team with a detailed analysis of your hip’s function and movement. Since every patient is different, every orthopedic procedure must be adapted to their unique body mechanics. The Corin OPS system allows the INOV8 Orthopedics team to do just that.

During the procedure, data gathered from the Corin system is used to create 3D imaging and laser guidance, ensuring that our professionals perfectly align your prosthesis into the targeted position. Having a properly aligned prosthesis is essential in maximizing the longevity and function of your new hip.

Our team also incorporates the Intellijoint HIP into our outpatient hip replacement procedures. This surgeon-controlled tool provides our team with real-time measurements on leg and joint positioning. This allows them to gently make adjustments during the alignment process to ensure that the procedure is completed flawlessly.

After your prosthesis is secured in place, our team will close the incision. The incision is typically located on the outer leg and ranges from 6” to 8” in length. Once postoperative observation is complete, you will be able to complete your recovery in the comfort of your home. In most hip replacement surgeries, follow-up physical therapy consists mainly of walking. Our team will provide detailed instructions for your individual procedure.
