Anterior Hip Replacement And Engraving Problems

Single anterior incision total hip replacement is a procedure in which the surgeon approaches the hip joint from the front instead of on the back or side that has been the traditional approach of all these years.

Anterior incision method has been used in Europe for many years with fairly good results. This is a mini-invasive surgery.

When replacing the front hip, the muscle of the pelvis or femur is not detached as in the case of the traditional approach. The hip is approached from the front and replaced by an interval of time between natural muscles. The muscles are not cut, but separate. This allows patients to bend them immediately after surgery. In this way patients can avoid many limitations that are normal with prosthetic replacement of traditional surgery.

Comparison procedure:

Anterior Hip Replacement	Traditional hip replacement
Immediately you can use the hip	Limited hip movement for 6-8 weeks after surgery
Average 4-inch incision	Media 10 -12 inch incision
Muscles and tendons are not cut	Muscles and tendons are cut
Less frightening
Faster recovery
Less pain after surgery
Shorter hospital stay
Less blood loss
No limitation on the resumption of normal sexual activity after surgery	A few limitations on the resumption of normal sexual activity after surgery
An operating table and instruments are needed

It is mainly due to lack of familiarity, teaching traditional and non-availability of necessary equipment and instrumentation which is responsible for U.S. surgeons do not use this approach, while this procedure is well known in Europe and provides a number of advantages for patients.
