Hip Surgeon for Patients in Palos Verdes, California Offers Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures and Post-less Hip Surgery:
Have you heard of Post-less Hip Surgery? If you are thinking about undergoing a surgical hip treatment, you need to find out about it! Outdated forms of hip surgery utilized a perineal post. The post is a large, padded structure, placed in the patient’s perineal area to give counter-traction while the leg is pulled taught so the joint can be opened up for easier surgery. Postless hip arthroscopy eliminates the perineal post completely, while using a special surgical table to create that traction required for the surgery. Dr. Prem Ramkumar uses post-less hip surgery exclusively for his patients in Palos Verdes California and the surrounding Southern California areas.
