  • @Bruny Actually we did discuss the new method. I don't have extreme detailed research on the new method, but it is my understanding that because it is "New", it is not absolutely proven...yet. And there is a risk of damaging the sciatic nerve and causing possible though unlikely permanent paralysis of the leg.

    Also, my Doctor from Atlanta has a very cool way of doing minimal damage to the muscles...quite impressive in fact.

    Thanks for the comment!

  • I don't know why total hip replacement patients only get offered the old method of surgery when the Direct Anterior Approach preserves the gluteus and femoral muscles & tendons. Recovery time is shorter than the old barbaric method. More surgeons should train to do the Direct Anterior Approach. It takes a special imaging table to perform this surgery but the results are well worth it. Surgeons should consider giving patients less trauma, pain & faster recovery with no restrictions.
