Minimally Invasive Total Joint Replacement Surgery

Hip MIS: Hip surgery through the minimally invasive anterior approach click here.

Knee MIS: Minimally invasive techniques for true total knee replacement are real but are not as dramatic as those for the hip.  Compared to knee replacement surgery just a few years ago the incisions are shorter and muscle damage is much less.  Therefore the recovery is somewhat easier - although it is still a difficult and comparatively painful process.

 

Computer-Assisted/Navigated Total Joint Replacement

Dr. Bradley has extensive experience with computer-assisted joint replacement.  He has been an invited speaker to a national meeting and has published in a peer-reviewed orthopaedic journal (Journal of Arthroplasty, 2005).
