Talk to Dr. Bohnenkamp About Procedure Possibilities
Total Hip Replacement
Total Hip Replacement
Fully automated hip replacements with computers, x-ray navigation, and a small incision allow Dr. Bohnenkamp to perfectly position the implants and restore patient function better than any surgeon in the area. The damaged bone and cartilage will be removed and replaced with prosthetic components for long-term results.
Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement
Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement
This minimally invasive surgical technique allows patients to potentially be discharged within a few hours. A small incision on the front of the hip makes the joint accessible for replacement without detaching any tendons. By moving muscles along their natural tissue planes, the arthritic joint is replaced with durable long-lasting bearings and titanium implants, which allow the bone to grow into them for potentially lifelong survival. This approach has quicker recovery with almost no restrictions, less pain, and more normal function shortly after hip replacement.
Mini Posterior Approach to Total Hip Replacement
Mini Posterior Approach to Total Hip Replacement
Due to the severity of joint disease, this approach is recommended when minimally invasive anterior hip replacement is not an option, due to the severity of joint disease. Widely considered one of the simplest and easiest approaches with the greatest margin of safety, this approach gives direct access to the joint by separating muscle fibers as opposed to cutting them. With the mini posterior approach, muscle function is preserved, and no special equipment is needed.
Total Hip Revisions
Total Hip Revisions
In a total hip revision, the existing implants in the replaced hip have failed for various reasons, causing pain in the patient and immobility. The old, worn-out, or loose parts are removed when necessary and replaced with new implants to provide long-lasting durability with restored function and less pain.
My husband and I loved Dr. Bohnenkamp from the get-go. His ability to convey the procedure of a knee replacement to us, lay people, and make it understandable was so refreshing. From all that he said, we knew he loved what he did and was superb at doing it. His personable ways made us so comfortable. Everyone we had contact with to prepare me for the surgery was attentive and personable. Everything was so organized and when I called with a question, I always got a prompt call back. My positive experience led me to have my other knee replaced nine months later. Yea, Dr. Bohnenkamp, I can now do everything I used to do without any pain what so ever. My husband and I would recommend Dr. Bohnenkamp and his staff any day of the week. Barbara Evers Hebron”

After I was told by another orthopedic physician that I was not a candidate for hip surgery due to some medical challenges that would make it a difficult surgery for me, a friend referred me to Dr.Bohnenkamp. Not only did Dr. Bohnenkamp agree to see me for a consultation but after reviewing my medical history and scans of my hip, he advised me that he would perform the surgery. It has been 3 months since my hip replacement and I feel like a new person! After three long years of dealing with tremendous hip pain, I’m now pain free with a new hip. Dr. Bohnenkamp is trustworthy and handles complex medical challenges with ease. His explanations are thorough and he answered all my questions which put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. Bohnenkamp as well as his staff as they are professional, organized, and knowledgeable and they always responded quickly to any of my pre and post-op questions! I’m thankful for Dr. Bohnenkamp’s extremely skilled expertise!”

I'm an 80 year old women who fell and unfortunately I broke my hip. I was fortunate enough to have Dr Bohnenkamp as my surgeon. I had a successful surgery and rehabilitation. Dr Bohnenkamp listened to my concerns and was understanding of where I was medically and answered all my questions thoroughly and in a context that Us could understand. Furthermore, I cannot thank him enough for his exceptional skills and caring attitude.”

Had Total Anterior Hip replacement. I can walk again! I had gotten to the point of using all kinds of mobility aids. Canes, walkers etc... I am out of pain and have been able to return to gardening full force.”

Had my right hip replaced about 6 years ago, and have had nothing but problems with it. Pain, Instability, Weakness...I kept going back to that doctor telling him something was wrong, to no avail. I found Dr Bohnenkamp by chance and am SO GRATEFUL. He revised this hip, and now only about 2 months after surgery, I am better than ever before. Pain - GONE, Instability - GONE, I feel more confident and healthy. I have therapy to work on the limp I developed because the other one was so faulty. But I am improving day by day and I am WAY ahead of where I ever was before with the other replacement. Dr. Bohnenkamp is confident, professional, his staff is nothing but professional and friendly. I would have put up with a crabby staff and a rude doctor if I would have had to in order to get relief. But I got the best of all worlds - my hip was revised with AWESOME results, by a friendly, caring and very professional doctor and a friendly, compassionate staff. His PA Christina is a very professional, caring member of his staff also. Cannot recommend them enough, Dr Bohnenkamp solved my problem after years of suffering, I am so very grateful for his expertise. DO NOT hesitate to make an appointment with them if you have any problems, they are THE BEST!!!”

Dr. Bohnenkamp is a caring and very intelligent doctor. His joy and love of his profession is very evident. His work is cutting edge, and we patients benefit from the latest techniques. I am 74 y/owoman and I needed a hip replacement. The arthritis caused a quick deterioration, and a fall on the ice hastened the matter giving me a lot of pain. Dr. Bohnenkamp told me that with the new hip, my pain would be gone forever. He was so correct. Pain after surgery was mild. His anterior procedure meant that I healed more quickly. I had an easy recovery and now have all the benefits of a top notch hip. He is indeed my hero.”
