Rottinger (modified anterior) Total Hip Replacement
Dr. Rogerson is now performing total hip replacement surgery using the Rottinger (a modified anterior) approach. This has advantages over the traditional posterior lateral approach, such as not injuring as much muscle with the incision; thereby making rehab quicker and less painful. Also, by making the incision in the front (anterior) of the hip, the risk of a posterior hip dislocation is minimized. Read more about the Rottinger approach and it's advantages over a standard anterior and/or posterior lateral hip replacement.
Birmingham Hip Resurfacing
Dr. Rogerson is among the first surgeons in this country and the first in Wisconsin to provide patients who suffer hip pain the remarkable new Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) technique. This alternative, which has been offered in Europe and other countries for more than a decade, finally won FDA approval in May 2006. It is the first FDA approved hip resurfacing system in the United States. Rather than replacing the entire hip joint, as in a total hip replacement, hip resurfacing simply shaves and caps a few centimeters of bone within the joint. Learn More...
