Spend Less Time in the Hospital

• Clinical studies support that ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement patients experience a reduced length of stay.^1,5,12
• ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE Hip Replacement patients spent almost one less day in the hospital compared to posterior approach patients.^1,2,5,12,15
• ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE Hip Replacement patients were discharged almost one day sooner than patients with a traditional approach (2.28 days vs 3.02 days, p=0.0028)⁵
• ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE Hip Replacement patients experienced a 50% reduction in length of stay compared to posterior approach patients (33.9 hours compared to 65.8 hours, p<0.001)¹

Experience a Faster Recovery

• Scientific data supports that ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement patients spend less time in recovery facilities^1,2,5,12,15 and return to daily activity faster than patients treated with other procedures.^2,5,11,12,15
• ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE Hip Replacement can help you perform daily activities earlier in your recovery. This means that you may have more freedom to walk without support,^2,5,15 climb stairs,⁵ and put on your own socks and shoes, compared to patients treated with another approach.¹¹
• ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE Hip Replacement patients are more likely to cease the use of a walking aid by 6 weeks post-surgery than posterior approach patients.²

Experience Less Pain

• ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement is considered a muscle-sparing procedure for total hip replacement, which means that instead of cutting muscle, your surgeon works around muscle. By keeping your muscles intact, you may experience less pain early in your recovery than if you had undergone another procedure.^2,5,11
• When compared to posterior approach patients, ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE Hip Replacement patients have reported less pain at day one,⁵ week two,² and week six post-operatively.^2,11
• ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE Hip Replacement patients experienced significantly less pain after primary THA as measured by visual analog pain scores (VAS, 4.8 vs 5.5, p=0.0472) (VAS 2.2 vs 5.20, p<0.0001) than posterior approach patients.^2,5

Use Less Narcotics to Relieve Pain After Surgery 

• ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE™ Hip Replacement patients consume less narcotics after surgery than patients with traditional approaches.^1,2,14,15
• Compared to posterior approach patients, ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE Hip Replacement patients consume less narcotics in the first three days after surgery¹⁵ and are less likely to be using narcotics for pain control at 2 and 6 weeks follow-up.²
• ANTERIOR ADVANTAGE Hip Replacement patients reported 35% less opioid usage through the first 90 days post-operatively.¹³
