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 may assist with:

Reduced pain

Faster recovery

Lower risk of dislocation

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

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