Direct Anterior Hip Replacement
What is Direct Anterior Hip Replacement?
Direct anterior hip replacement is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical technique
used to replace a damaged hip joint with an artificial implant. Unlike traditional hip
replacement approaches, this method avoids cutting major muscles, leading to
quicker recovery and less post-operative pain.
Benefits of Direct Anterior
Hip Replacement
Faster Recovery Time: Patients can resume daily activities sooner
compared to traditional techniques. Minimal Muscle Damage: The
anterior approach preserves surrounding muscles and soft tissues.
Reduced Post-Operative Pain: Less trauma to the body results in
lower pain levels. Improved Joint Stability: Reduced risk of
hip dislocation after surgery.
Who is a Candidate for Direct
Anterior Hip Replacement?
Patients suffering from chronic hip pain due to hip osteoarthritis,
hip fractures, or avascular necrosis may be ideal candidates
for this procedure. A consultation with an expert hip replacement
surgeon will determine suitability based on individual health conditions.
