At The Kennedy Center, we continually strive for the highest level of patient care. This patient driven approach resulted in the development of Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement. Minimally Invasive Joint replacement is appropriate for most patients who require a joint replacement. The benefit of Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement is a smaller incision - between three and five inches. This means less trauma to your body, a quicker healing time and a faster return to work.
