Can the hip be replaced with keyhole surgery?!
Question: Can the hip be replaced with keyhole surgery?
Answers:
You can't get it replaced as these other posters have said.
you can have it "repaired" by keyhole as a stopgap to need the full replacement.
I think this would depend on your age.

As the top of the femur has to be sawn off and removed it would be difficult to do through a small hole
I have a replacement hip
no you can't get the hip joint out of a keyhole
the hip joint is quite large you know!! My friend has a 6" long scar.
