Total Hip Replacement (Anterior Approach)

Total Hip Replacement (Anterior Approach)

Total hip replacement with the anterior approach is an orthopedic procedure considered less invasive than other methods like lateral or posterior total hip replacements. It’s designed to bring back mobility for individuals suffering from hip pain, often caused by common issues such as arthritis.

During this procedure, the surgeon makes an incision through the front of the groin, which is why it’s called an anterior approach. This technique aims to avoid cutting through the major muscles in the body, potentially resulting in less pain after the surgery. However, it’s important to note that this approach may not be suitable for everyone, depending on factors like body shape and specific health conditions.

Your surgeon will advise you on the best approach for your needs.
