A recent advancement in hip replacement is a procedure called, Rapid Recovery Hip Replacement. It employs a combination of minimally invasive surgery, a titanium implant and a dramatically stronger bearing surface.

The benefits of Rapid Recovery are less pain and the potential for a faster return to work.

Rapid Recovery is especially important for younger people aged 40-60 who have osteoarthritis and need a total hip replacement. Typically, these patients are laborers - such as electricians, masons, carpenters and farmers. Before Rapid Recovery, these patients would not be able to return to their old jobs after total hip replacement. Now using Rapid Recovery's new technology, they can return to their prior job and continue to do the heavy lifting and bending required.
