The Direct Anterior Approach to The Hip Joint.
K.Mohan Iyer*
Minimally invasive surgical techniques is an important component of modern day hip replacements. The most significant progress in the evolution of total hip replacement is that the procedure can be done with much less invasive techniques which allow the patient to recover and therefore mobilise early. These techniques require minimum handling to prevent damage to periarticular soft tissues and preservation of bone substance to the maximum extent possible,which helps conserve bone mass and avoid damage to soft tissues, which allows faster restoration of hip function.
