A modern, muscle-sparing approach to relieving hip pain and restoring movement.

What Is the Hip Joint, and Why Is It Important?

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint, where the top of the thigh bone (femur) fits into the pelvis. It’s surrounded by cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and muscles—all working together to allow:

• Smooth walking and bending

• Stable standing and sitting

• Weight-bearing and balance

When damaged by arthritis, injury, or overuse, the joint becomes painful and stiff, limiting your ability to move freely.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

Direct anterior hip replacement is a minimally invasive technique where the surgeon accesses the hip joint from the front of the body, sparing major muscles. This leads to:

• Less pain

• Faster recovery

• Lower risk of dislocation

Damaged joint surfaces are replaced with durable artificial implants, tailored to your anatomy for long-term performance.
