Direct Anterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty Revisited
» In total hip arthroplasty, the advantages of the direct anterior approach (DAA) compared with the direct lateral and posterior approaches include a true intermuscular approach that spares the abductor musculature, protects the soft tissues surrounding the hip, and thus maintains hip

The direct anterior approach in total hip arthroplasty
Aims The most effective surgical approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains controversial. The direct anterior approach may be associated with a reduced risk of dislocation, faster recovery, reduced pain and fewer surgical complications. This systematic review aims to evaluate the current evidence for the

Femoral revision with the direct anterior approach
Abstract Objective The advantages of the direct anterior approach (DAA) in primary total hip arthroplasty as a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing, internervous approach are reported by many authors. Therefore, the DAA has become increasingly popular for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in recent years, and the number
