The Nova Hip is a next-generation joint replacement experience—offered exclusively at Nova. It combines expert orthopedic surgeons, robotic-assisted precision, and same-day recovery in a state-of-the-art outpatient facility. From your first appointment to your last follow-up, every detail is built around one goal: getting you back to the life you love, faster.
But first, are you sure it is time for a hip replacement? It can be confusing. Here’s how you know when it’s time to act:

Any old hip specialist won’t do. Ninety four percent of hip replacement surgeries today are done by orthopedic surgeons without proper training or experience. And the wrong surgeon doubles your risk of serious complications.
The Nova hip combines the best hip doctors with Houston’s newest facility. We credential our orthopedic surgeons according to Best Practice Health standards. (Note, Best Practice Health and Nova have shared ownership).
In addition, Nova outfits our hip replacement experts with the latest tools. Did you know that…

At Nova the Mako robotic assistant is available for every case.
By combining the best orthopedic surgeons with the newest facility in Houston, Nova is creating a low cost, fast recovery, and world-class hip replacement experience.
