Expert Hip Surgery

Dr. Lammli in surgery.

You may be thinking, “My hip pain isn’t that bad yet, and I can live with it”, “I want to wait till the timing is better”, or “I won’t recover from surgery well because of my age”. In reality, the longer you wait the more joint damage and muscle loss that occurs, and it could result in longer recovery times.

Our orthopedic providers encourage you not to wait. If you are dealing with hip pain and loss of function, make an appointment with us right away to learn more about your surgical options.

Hip Replacement

During hip replacement surgery, your surgeon will completely replace the ball and socket part of your hip. This surgical option is mostly recommended for older adults dealing with arthritis or a fracture when non-surgical options no longer relieve pain and stiffness.

Individualized Surgical Approach

Dr. John Lammli and Dr. Jared Rickert offer two different approaches for your total hip replacement. They work closely with you to explain the options in detail and pick the one best for your situation.

  • Posterior Approach: This surgical approach offers better access by making incisions in the back of the hip. This is the most common approach used for hip replacement.
  • Direct Anterior Approach: This surgical approach avoids cutting nearby muscles and tendons by making incisions in the front of the hip. This approach is only recommended for certain patients based on specific criteria.

PRECISION. SAFETY. LASTING RESULTS.

Our orthopedic surgeons use advanced surgical techniques to give you a precise and stable hip replacement. During your procedure, they take x-rays to ensure the replacement is positioned correctly and will be stable in the long term. One large concern for patients going through hip replacement surgery is dislocation after. Our surgeons reduce the risk of dislocation to nearly 0% after surgery by utilizing advanced technology called dual mobility hip components.

Overall, your surgeon puts your safety first. From choosing the correct approach based on your individual needs, to ensuring accuracy with your hip replacement, you can expect consistent results that help you get back to your everyday activities.
