Hip pain can be life-limiting, making walking, sleeping, or even standing uncomfortable. At Southwest Michigan Center for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, our team specializes in hip replacement procedures designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and help you move confidently again. Our surgeons are proud participants in the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative (MARCQI)—a statewide partnership dedicated to improving surgical outcomes and patient safety. By benchmarking data and adopting the latest best practices, we ensure every patient benefits from proven, high-quality care.

Types of Hip Replacement Surgery

Anterior Approach
Hip Replacement

This muscle-sparing technique allows access to the hip joint from the front, avoiding major muscle cuts. Benefits include less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to walking.

Posterior and
Lateral Approaches

For certain anatomy or revision cases, these traditional approaches provide excellent exposure and durable results. Each method is carefully selected based on patient needs.

Partial Hip Replacement
(Hemiarthroplasty)

Used when only part of the hip joint (often the femoral head) is damaged—common in certain fractures or localized arthritis.

Total Hip
Replacement

Replaces both the ball and socket of the joint with smooth, durable implants that replicate natural movement and reduce pain long-term.

Revision Hip
Replacement

For patients with worn or damaged implants, this procedure restores stability, alignment, and comfort through careful removal and reimplantation.

Recovery and
Patient Outcomes

Patients are encouraged to stand and walk with assistance within a day of surgery. Many experience rapid improvements in mobility and pain relief. Physical therapy begins almost immediately, helping to rebuild strength and flexibility.

As an independent practice, we coordinate your entire journey—from consultation and preoperative education to post-surgery rehabilitation—ensuring a seamless, supportive experience.
