How This Muscle-Sparing Method Speeds Recovery
Traditional hip replacement cuts through muscle to reach the joint. The anterior approach moves between muscles, preserving the structures that support the hip joint.
This method helps patients:
- Walk the same day as surgery
- Leave the outpatient center sooner
- Experience less post-surgical pain
- Reduce dislocation risk
- Heal with a smaller, more discreet scar
Dr. Shore, as an experienced hip replacement surgeon in Newport Beach, often performs this procedure with robotic assistance. This technology improves accuracy during implant placement and helps create balanced alignment.
He also uses a bikini-style incision along the front of the hip. It follows natural skin lines and promotes better wound healing with refined cosmetic results.
Only a small group of surgeons performs this advanced technique.
Is It Time to Consider Hip Surgery?
You may need a total hip replacement if:
Hip pain limits daily activity or sleep
Therapy and injections no longer help
Imaging shows hip arthritis or joint wear
You want a plan that promotes movement and independence
Dr. Shore evaluates each patient carefully. He considers joint structure, bone condition, and lifestyle before recommending any replacement options.
What to Expect from Consultation to Recovery
The Initial Consultation
Dr. Shore discusses your symptoms, reviews imaging, and explains what affects your acetabulum, femur, or surrounding tissue. He outlines all treatment options, from physical therapy to joint replacement surgery.
During Surgery
Dr. Shore makes a small incision at the front of the hip and replaces damaged bone and cartilage with precision implants. He uses robotic guidance to achieve accurate alignment and balance for lasting joint function.
