I have had both of my hips replaced. The first was done in NYC Hospital of Special Surgery the posterior method. The muscle was cut to do the surgery. Lots of hip precautions and a long recovery with rehab. The second hip was done by Dr. Locker in Ocala. He replaced the hip using the Anterior replacement method. The surgeon goes in through a space between the muscles to complete the hip replacement. There were no restrictions and recovery was much quicker. Run don't walk to Dr. Locker or a surgery who has learned the anterior method of hip replacement.
