Zimmer® MIS Anterolateral Hip Procedure
|
The MIS Anterolateral Approach is a minimally invasive THA procedure devised as a modification of the classic Watson-Jones anterolateral approach. The incision interval is between the glutei and the tensor fascia lata muscles and leads directly to the hip capsule. This intermuscular interval through a small incision provides good exposure for total hip replacement and preserves muscle integrity with the goal that rehabilitation time can be improved. The posterior capsule remains intact, easing concerns about posterior dislocations. Due to the importance of patient positioning and interoperative limb manipulation throughout this procedure, it is recommended that surgeons bring their assistant to this course. |
