This is a minimally invasive technique where the hip is accessed through a small incision at the front of the hip, sparing the surrounding muscles and tissue. This results in:
- Less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery
- Reduced risk of dislocation
Benefits of Direct Anterior Approach
- Smaller incisions
- Faster recovery
- Less muscle trauma
- Lower risk of hip dislocation
FAQs
This is a minimally invasive technique where the surgeon accesses the hip joint from the front, avoiding damage to muscles. This allows for a faster recovery and less postoperative pain.
Benefits include smaller incisions, less muscle trauma, reduced pain, faster recovery, and a lower risk of dislocation compared to traditional hip replacement methods.
Not all patients are candidates for this approach. Factors like hip anatomy and overall health will determine whether this technique is right for you.
