Hip Replacement
Hip Replacement Surgeons in Memphis & the Mid-South
If hip pain is limiting how you walk, sleep, or move through your day, our hip replacement surgeons can help you understand your options — from conservative treatment to advanced surgical techniques — and find the right path for your situation.
OrthoSouth's hip replacement doctors perform total and partial hip replacement using a range of modern techniques, including minimally invasive anterior approach surgery, same-day outpatient procedures, and MAKO Robotic Arm Assisted hip replacement. Most patients return to daily activities and driving within a few weeks.
Is hip replacement right for you?
Hip replacement is most often considered for:
- Hip osteoarthritis — age and activity-related wear of the cartilage in the hip joint
- Avascular necrosis — reduced blood flow to the head of the femur
- Hip fractures or failed previous hip surgery
- Hip pain that limits walking, putting on shoes, or getting in and out of a car
Most people try non-surgical options first — physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, or injections — before hip replacement is recommended. Our hip replacement surgeons will walk you through every option and help you decide together.
Hip replacement techniques we offer
Anterior Approach Hip Replacement
A minimally invasive technique that avoids cutting the muscles around the hip, which can mean a more natural gait, less pain medication, quicker return to function, and lower dislocation risk.
Dual Mobility Hip Replacement
A hip replacement option designed to reduce the risk of dislocation, often used for patients at higher risk of hip instability.
Same-Day Outpatient Hip Replacement
For eligible patients, hip replacement performed at one of our surgery centers with a same-day return home.
MAKO Robotic Arm Assisted Hip Replacement
Robotic-arm assisted surgery that uses a CT-based surgical plan to help optimize implant positioning.
What to expect
Recovery from hip replacement typically takes a few weeks to a few months. Most patients walk the same day or next day after surgery, with physical therapy supporting strength and mobility along the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a hip replacement?
If hip pain is limiting your daily activities and hasn't improved with physical therapy, medication, or injections, it's worth talking to a hip replacement surgeon about your options.
How long does hip replacement recovery take?
Most patients return to normal activities and driving within a few weeks, though full recovery and healing can take several months.
What's the difference between anterior approach and traditional hip replacement?
Anterior approach hip replacement avoids cutting the muscles around the hip, which can lead to faster recovery and a lower risk of dislocation compared to traditional approaches. Your surgeon can help determine which approach is right for you.
Do you offer same-day hip replacement surgery?
Yes, eligible patients can have hip replacement performed at one of our outpatient surgery centers with a same-day return home.
