What is ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement?
ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement by DePuy Synthes, is a leading solution in the Anterior Approach to hip replacement.
The surgical approach (sometimes called the surgical technique) is the way the surgeon makes their incision so that they can operate on the bones that make up the hip joint. Many surgeons use what is called a traditional or posterior approach (incision through the back of the hip), while an increasing number of surgeons are using an Anterior Approach2,5,11,16 (incision through the front of the hip). The popularity of the Anterior Approach is rapidly growing because of its measured advantages and improved outcomes.1,2,5,11,12,16
Unlike a traditional approach where the muscles are cut, the Anterior Approach allows the surgeon to work between the muscles keeping them intact. By keeping the muscles intact, the Anterior Approach may allow for shorter recovery, less pain, a shorter hospital stay and fewer post-operative restrictions.1,5
ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement is the DePuy Synthes branded solution for Anterior Approach. It is an Anterior Approach primary or revision hip replacement technique, which utilizes DePuy Synthes implant products.
In addition, ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement is also supported by a number of advanced technologies designed to help optimize your surgical experience.

Ishbel’s Story
Meet Ishbel. Ishbel was hesitant to have hip replacement surgery because she thought she would have to give up her active lifestyle, but she realized what she was doing for the pain wasn’t working for her anymore.
Ernie's Story
Ernie first started noticing hip pain at age 45. By age 52, he was experiencing sharp pains when he lifted his legs, and he walked bent over. He was getting less and less sleep, and he was regularly taking over-the-counter pain relievers.
Dave's Story
Dave is no stranger to the impact that a total hip replacement can have to help patients get back to their lives. He had his right hip replaced in December 2016.
Jeannette's Story
Jeannette was having a hard time enjoying her hobbies and participating in basic activities like walking because of her hip pain; even just riding along in the golf cart with her husband had become too painful.
Potential Benefits of ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement
ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement patients may:
- Spend less time in the hospital1,2,5,12,16
- Have a faster recovery2,5,11,16
- Experience less pain2,5,11
- Use less narcotics to relieve pain after surgery1,2,16
than those patients treated with traditional approaches.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
As with any medical treatment, individual results may vary. The performance of hip replacements depends on age, weight, activity level and other factors. There are potential risks and recovery takes time. If you have conditions that limit rehabilitation you should not have this surgery. Only an orthopaedic surgeon can tell you if hip replacement is right for you.
