Volume matters — surgeons who perform 100+ of a given procedure annually typically have better outcomes. Ask about their complication rates, implant choices, and whether they use minimally invasive techniques. All providers on AdvOrtho are verified against the national NPI registry.
What is the difference between anterior and posterior hip replacement?
The anterior approach accesses the hip from the front, avoiding cutting through major muscles. Most patients have less pain and recover faster — often walking without a cane in 2–3 weeks. The posterior approach is more traditional and works well in complex cases. Surgeon experience with the approach matters more than the approach itself.
