Hip Replacement

Treatment in Minnesota

All surgeries described in these pages are available at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Although certain types of hip replacement surgery are listed as minimally invasive procedures, all hip surgery is invasive to a degree. As a result, orthopedic surgeons in Rochester utilize more conventional forms of surgery, including custom-length incisions and muscle releases according to patients' body sizes.

Patients meet with members of their health care team to determine the most appropriate approach. Before recommending a surgery, physicians review the patient's preferences, tests and X-rays, medical and family histories and any prior treatment.

Treatment Team

Specialists in Orthopedic Surgery and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation coordinate surgical treatment and preoperative and postoperative care.
