Direct Anterior Approach Total Hip Replacement by Edwin P. Su, MD | Case Trailer

The patient is a 54-year-old, very active woman who is a tennis player, and she has developed end-stage osteoarthritis of her hip. I am going to be performing a direct anterior approach total hip replacement. I like the direct anterior approach for her because I believe it will lead to an easier recovery with fewer restrictions, and I think ultimately it will give her the stability she needs to carry on her active lifestyle. With this approach, I hope to show you the exposure we need to see the acetabulum, preservation of the capsule, with the use of a special fracture table called the Hana table. And, I hope to show you the releases we need of the capsule to get the exposure of the femur.
