Hip replacement is a major surgery. While traditional hip replacement involves operating from the side or back of the hip, the direct anterior approach requires a smaller incision, about three to four inches long at the front or anterior of the hip.

The anterior approach procedure to total hip replacement has been gaining popularity due to the benefits for patients including reduced scarring and minimized risk of muscle damage. The time from replacement to recovery is reduced and patients are returning to their active lifestyles more quickly.

The benefits of anterior approach to hip replacement include:

-Muscle-friendly
-Less invasive
-Less pain
-Less scarring
-Faster recovery
