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.
