Hip Joint Disorders Are Not Age-Specific: Minimally Invasive Techniques Eliminate the Need for Rehabilitation, Making Postoperative Recovery Easier
For example, consider the case of a 36-year-old patient who had previously suffered a sports injury. Combined with his large stature and excessive weight, this led to prolonged overuse and wear of the hip joint, eventually resulting in femoral head necrosis.After a thorough diagnosis, Dr. Chang recommended artificial hip replacement surgery.

The procedure utilized minimally invasive techniques, resulting in smaller incisions, minimal blood loss, and eliminating the need for traditional, extensive rehabilitation protocols. Dr. Chang’s team provides comprehensive preoperative and postoperative patient education. Following discharge, patients are advised to adhere to medical instructions, avoid improper postures and movements, and can thus experience faster recovery.

Additionally, the Minimally Invasive Joint Center has established a multifunctional gym specifically for postoperative patients, staffed with professional physical therapists and fitness trainers who offer one-on-one training sessions. These programs are tailored for orthopedic postoperative patients and the elderly, focusing on exercise prescriptions to enhance muscle strength and further improve quality of life. Dr. Chang notes that while rehabilitation is not required after minimally invasive surgery, patients who wish to strengthen their muscles or improve their posture may opt to participate in these programs to achieve better recovery outcomes.
The Minimally Invasive Joint Center is committed to providing high-quality medical services, with patient needs at the core of preoperative assessments, surgical procedures, and postoperative care. Whether for the elderly or younger adults, individuals experiencing hip joint-related issues are advised to seek early medical evaluation to prevent the worsening of their condition.
