The approach

The direct anterior approach, explained.

Your surgeon reaches the hip joint from the front of the body, working between muscles rather than detaching them from bone. The technique is designed to allow fewer post-operative restrictions and potentially faster early recovery, and it lets the surgical team use low-dose X-ray during surgery to check component position and leg length.

Robotic assistance (ROSA®) supports planning and verification where it fits your case. Whether anterior or another approach is right for your anatomy is your surgeon's call, explained in plain language at consultation.
