Total Hip Replacement
Direct Anterior Approach — Muscle Sparing
Through the natural muscle interval — no cutting, no detachment. Walk the same day, recover faster, live without restrictions.
How We Treat This
Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) Total Hip
The gold standard in hip replacement. Access through the natural muscle plane with zero muscle or tendon cutting — preserving every structure for natural recovery.
- ✓ No muscles or tendons cut during surgery
- ✓ Same-day or next-day mobilisation
- ✓ Zero movement restrictions post-op
- ✓ Minimal scar, minimal trauma
Minimally Invasive Total Hip Replacement
Smaller incision, same precision. Advanced technique combining minimal access with robotic guidance for optimised implant positioning.
- ✓ 3–4 inch incision vs traditional 10–12 inch
- ✓ Reduced blood loss and hospital stay
- ✓ Faster return to daily activities
- ✓ Excellent long-term implant outcomes
Hip Resurfacing
Bone-conserving alternative for younger, active patients. Caps the femoral head rather than removing it — preserving bone stock for future revisions.
- ✓ Bone conservation technique
- ✓ Natural hip mechanics preserved
- ✓ Suitable for active patients under 55
- ✓ Future revision options preserved
Why Choose This Approach
No Muscle Cutting
DAA approach preserves all muscles and tendons for faster, unrestricted recovery.
Same-Day Walking
Patients typically walk within 4–6 hours of surgery with physiotherapy guidance.
Zero Restrictions
Unlike posterior approach, DAA patients have no position restrictions post-operatively.
Natural Gait
Muscle preservation means immediate natural movement patterns and superior long-term function.
Frequently Asked
What is the Direct Anterior Approach?+
DAA hip replacement accesses the hip joint through the front, passing between natural muscle planes without cutting any muscles or tendons.
Can I walk on the same day as surgery?+
Yes. Most DAA patients walk within 4–6 hours of surgery with physiotherapy guidance.
How long is the hospital stay?+
Most patients are discharged within 1–2 days. Full recovery is typically 6–8 weeks.
What is the lifespan of a hip implant?+
Modern hip implants typically last 20–30 years. Robotic-assisted placement further extends longevity by ensuring optimal positioning.
