In practice
Mark offers minimally invasive hip replacement surgery via anterior approach (AMIS), which is the only truly inter-muscular and inter-nervous approach, that reduces the trauma of hip replacement and can lead to a more rapid early recovery and return to mobility, work and sporting activity.
