Synopsis:
Orthopedic surgeons have made steady improvements in total hip arthroplasty to improve safety and enhance surgical outcomes for their patients. As such, surgeons and patients have focused on less invasive surgical methods, at least for the past decade. This focus has led to an interest in, and to the development of total hip arthroplasty with the direct anterior surgical approach. The Direct Anterior Approach to Hip Reconstruction is a definitive and comprehensive reference text that addresses the above interest. This resource is designed to help with introductory learning, intermediate technical development, and advanced revision skills using the direct anterior method. Drs. Sonny Bal, Lee Rubin, and Kristaps J. Keggi have joined their unique perspectives, along with those of a renowned group of experts in the expanding world of anterior hip reconstructions surgery to create this reference. Dr. Keggi was among the first to recognize and leverage the benefits of the direct anterior approach in hip reconstruction; his 40-plus years of experience as a clinician serve as the foundation for the text. The Direct Anterior Approach to Hip Reconstruction provides a stepwise progression for surgeons to learn how to perform total hip arthroplasty using the direct anterior approach, with detailed chapters and video instruction from an internationally renowned group of expert authors. The chapters are structured to focus on the art of using the direct anterior approach to address a variety of hip pathology, such as femoroaetabular impingment, pediatric operations, revision implant surgery, and others. The unique applications of the direct anterior approach within the fields of pediatrics, trauma, reconstruction, and tumor surgery are highlighted, along with chapters focused on femoroacetabular impingment, hip preservation surgery, and postoperative rehabilitation protocols designed to improve patient outcomes.
