Direct Anterior Approach to the Hip Joint.

      Аннотация: I had devised the Modified Posterior Approach to the Hip Joint, at a time when there were considerable reports of dislocation of the hip joint. I had started using the Direct-Anterior Approach to the Hip Joint since early 2017, and I came to the conclusion that it served the same purpose as that when I had devised the Modified Posterior Approach in addition to increased stability to the Hip Joint, with no need to osteotomise the greater trochanter and hence avoid any complications related to the union of the greater trochanter, such as non-union or fibrous union. In view of these multiple advantages offered by this Approach, I would certainly recommend this Direct Anterior Approach to the Hip Joint to the newer generation of Orthopaedic Surgeons wherever feasible.
