Posterior Hip Replacement & Complex Hip Reconstruction

The posterior approach remains one of the most widely used and versatile hip replacement techniques worldwide.

It provides excellent exposure of the hip joint and remains extremely valuable in:

• More complex anatomy
• Revision surgery
• Significant deformity
• Muscular patients
• Difficult reconstruction
• Selected fracture patterns
• Major stiffness or contracture

Posterior hip replacement has a long track record of reliable outcomes and remains an excellent option for many patients.

The choice between anterior and posterior approaches is individualised and based on anatomy, stiffness, complexity, previous surgery, muscularity, and overall reconstructive goals.

The focus is always restoration of durable movement, stability, leg length, and long-term function.
