A hip prosthesis is one of the most frequently performed operations in the elderly population.
In economic terms this procedure gives very good results, much better in terms of costs and improvement of quality of life than almost all other operations in this age group.
The Rapid Recovery Programme was set up at the Jan Yperman Hospital for patients who are admitted for hip replacement.
The hip team has strong expertise in minimally invasive muscle-sparing hip techniques. The most successful muscle-sparing hip techniques (SuperPATH and anterior Bikini) are applied as standard.
