75% of all hip fractures occur in women and about 25% of hip fractures in people over 50 occurs in men! The death rate in women from complications after hip fracture is equal to the risk of death from breast cancer in women, and four times higher than death from endometrial cancer! Managing Osteoporosis and preventing falls cannot be over-stated!		WELCOME! You have probably been hearing about the least invasive hip replacement surgery available--Anterior Approach Hip Replacement. This means the surgeon cuts through the front of the hip instead of from the side or the back. It is less invasive than traditional hip replacement because there is significantly less damage to the muscle and tissue in your hip.  Dr. David Robins performs this surgery to help reduce your pain and immobility after surgery.                    The gluteus muscles attached to your pelvis and femur are left undisturbed. Using the anterior approach allows you to bend your hip freely and bear your full weight much more rapidly after surgery.                                 Additionally, the newest hip joints are ceramic and metal instead of metal on metal, improving hip replacement even more!                                                                      Helping East Tennessee One Bone at a Time Going to Knoxville or Chattanooga is no longer necessary for the latest techniques in hip replacement surgery.  Please call (423) 746-2445 for your appointment with Dr. David Robins so you can get back to the activities you enjoy.
