Product Overview
THE ANTERIOR APPROACH:
A LOGICAL APPROACH FOR MIS SURGERY
Total Hip Replacement is a safe and clinically proven surgical procedure.
Implant manufacturers and orthopaedic surgeons have been working in partnership on Total Hip Replacement for many years, the former improving and mastering the materials used, and the latter refining the implantation techniques.
Medacta International is committed to becoming a preferred partner for new technologies such as in total hip arthroplasty through the minimally invasive anterior approach (the AMIS approach = Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery).
A true Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is characterized by a reduced skin incision and the preservation of muscles and tendons.
The anterior approach follows the principles of MIS. Other approaches advertised as minimally invasive (posterior, lateral, or double incision approach) are associated with muscles and/or tendons injury and thus are only reduced skin incision techniques.
