Direct Anterior Approach for Hip Arthroplasty
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful surgical procedures in modern medicine. The procedure reliably relieves pain, restores function, and improves quality of life for most patients with debilitating hip arthritis.

This may be achieved through one of many well-described and commonly used approaches, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
