Abstract

The minimally invasive direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA) was first published in 1985. Since then the technique has been further improved and the indications have been extended. The approach utilizes the muscle gap between the tensor fasciae latae muscle on the lateral side and the sartorius muscle on the medial side. This muscle gap allows a direct and quick approach to the hip joint with good muscle preservation. During preparation of the femur the tensor fasciae latae muscle is at risk of being damaged. The lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (NCFL) and its branches are also in danger of being damaged during skin incision and dissection of the subcutaneous tissue. In this article the technique, risks and current clinical results of THA using the minimally invasive direct anterior approach are described. The results from the literature, as well as own results are compared to the traditional transgluteal lateral Bauer approach and discussed. Reviewing the literature, special attention has been given to the incidence of NCFL lesions, damage of the tensor fasciae latae muscle and positioning of the cup. Especially for the latter, the general view is hindered in the minimally invasive technique.
