Essentia Health in Fosston Now Offering Hip Replacement Surgery

Fosston, MN — Essentia Health is now offering Anterior Approach Total Hip Replacement Surgery at their location in Fosston with services provided by Dr. Samuel Lindemeier. Dr. Lindemeier joined the Access Health Program this weekend to talk hip replacement surgery and the process. He says hip replacement isn’t always the first option when it comes to dealing with pain, but when it effects how you live your life it may be time to schedule a surgery.

The hip surgery itself is a simple process and some patients are even out of the hospital on the same day. Dr. Lindemeier says most patients are back to living normal, pain free lives in a pretty short time.

And thanks to advances in technology, Dr. Lindemeier adds that the replacement hips last much longer than they used, meaning they now feel more comfortable offering it to your younger patients.
