Treatment for Hip Pain and Hip Replacement Surgery in New Jersey
When the pain of osteoarthritis or other forms of hip arthritis make it difficult to sleep, walk or navigate stairs — even with medication — hip replacement surgery may be the solution.
Total hip replacement, also known as total hip arthroplasty, is a major orthopedic surgery that replaces a damaged hip joint with an artificial hip joint prosthesis.
At Hackensack Meridian Health, our board-certified, fellowship trained, orthopedic surgeons specialize in advanced hip replacement procedures which includes:
- Minimally Invasive Joint Surgery
- Technology Assisted Surgery

What are the Different Types of Hip Replacement Surgeries?
Our orthopedic hip surgeons perform a range of hip replacement surgeries, including:
Total hip replacement is the most common type of hip replacement surgery and involves replacing worn-out or damaged sections of both of your hip joints with artificial implants.
The anterior approach is a highly specialized, less invasive technique that spares muscle and leads to a faster recovery. Rather than cut through muscle, which is necessary in traditional hip surgery, the surgeon works between muscles in the front of the hip, resulting in a more stable hip and less risk of dislocation.
Also called hemiarthroplasty, partial hip replacement replaces only one side of the hip joint and is a common treatment for older patients with a hip fracture.
A common option for younger, active patients, this procedure involves removing damaged bone and adding a protective metal covering to the femoral head — the ball at the top of the thigh bone that fits into the hip socket on the pelvis.
Our fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopedic surgeons specialize in the use of many advanced technologies to aid in precisely placing the implants, while allowing real-time data during hip replacement surgery.

Navigation Technology for Hip Replacement
Our orthopedic hip surgeons use a surgeon-controlled optical navigation tool that provides real-time measurements that ensure accurate implant alignment. This decreases the risk of joint dislocation caused by unequal leg length and other complications that require surgical revisions.
The system can also be used to correct prior hip replacements. During a revision total hip replacement, this system helps the surgeon pinpoint the cause of the patient’s hip pain and determine which implants need to be removed or modified.
