A Swiss Journey from Direct Lateral to Anterior Approach Hips | AHF 2025 | Darius Marti

Why switch when your current approach works? In this AHF 2025 presentation, Dr. Darius Marti shares his journey from Switzerland’s long-standing tradition of the direct lateral approach to full adoption of the direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty. Speaking from experience in both public and private Swiss hospitals, Marti explains the mentorship, cadaver training, and case selection strategies that made his transition safe and successful. He details the benefits he’s seen in daily practice—earlier mobilization, reduced pain, faster recovery, and precision from real-time fluoroscopic control—and how these align with growing registry evidence. Today, the anterior approach is the most common primary THA approach in Switzerland, used even in complex revision cases. This talk is both a candid personal story and a practical guide for surgeons considering the switch.
