Hip Replacement close to Chevy Chase
When hip arthritis limits your walking, sleep, or the activities you love, hip replacement is one of the most reliable procedures in modern medicine. Dr. Harb specializes in the muscle-sparing direct anterior approach, which reaches the joint from the front of the hip — between the muscles rather than through them — to support less pain and a faster, more stable recovery.
Combined with intraoperative imaging, computer navigation, and rapid-recovery protocols, the goal is a hip that feels natural and lasts. Many carefully selected patients return home the same day.
See the full hip replacement overview for techniques, candidacy, and what to expect. Patients often start with direct anterior hip replacement, the recovery timeline, and same-day (outpatient) joint replacement.
