The Anterior Approach to Hip Replacement
The direct anterior approach to hip replacement and hip resurfacing surgery offers significant advantages over the standard approaches to these procedures.  

Performing the surgery without muscle damage or detachment benefits the patient through less pain and a faster recovery.  Furthermore, the risk of a hip dislocation is reduced and patients have no limitations or restrictions after surgery.  The same implants are utilized, however, the use of x-ray during surgery allows for more consistent and accurate restoration of the hip anatomy and leg lengths. Read more >
