Paris (Texas) Regional Health has expanded its orthopedic services to include anterior approach total hip replacement surgery.
The anterior approach allows surgeons to access the hip joint from the front of the body, working between muscles rather than cutting through them. The system will continue performing traditional hip replacement procedures, with the new technique offered as an additional option based on patient needs, according to an April 9 news release.
For some patients, the approach may support a smoother recovery and an earlier return to daily activities. To support the service, Paris Regional Health invested in imaging technology, specialized surgical tables and orthopedic training to provide care locally.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
