Leaders in direct anterior hip replacements.

We're proud to lead the way in the anterior approach to hip replacement, an alternative to traditional hip replacement. This state-of-the-art approach lets us access your hip from the front, avoiding the need to detach key muscles and minimizing tissue disruption. Preserving these muscles significantly lowers the risk of dislocation and can accelerate your rehabilitation process. At St. Luke’s, we’re dedicated to helping you have a comfortable and rapid recovery.
