Hueter’s Anterior Approach to the Hip Joint

Iyer KM

Minimally invasive surgical techniques are an extremely important part of modern day hip replacements. The most significant progress all over the world in the evolution of total hip replacement is that the procedure can be done with less invasive techniques which allow the patient to recover and therefore mobilize early. These techniques require minimum handling to prevent damage to periarticular soft tissues and preservation of bone substance to the maximum extent possible, which helps conserve bone mass and avoid damage to soft tissues, to thus allow faster restoration of hip function.
