What Is Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement Surgery (DAA)?
The Direct Anterior Approach is a modern, muscle-sparing technique that accesses the hip joint from the front of the body. Unlike traditional hip replacements that cut through major muscles, Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement Surgery allows surgeons to work between muscles, reducing trauma and accelerating recovery. Therefore, patients often experience a faster and more comfortable healing process.
Why Choose the Anterior Approach?
For patients worried about a long and painful recovery, the anterior approach is a breakthrough. In addition to minimizing surgical trauma, it offers::
- Minimal muscle damage
- Less post-operative pain
- Quicker return to daily life
- Smaller scar and lower dislocation risk
- Shorter hospital stay – sometimes even same-day discharge
