This video is an animated simulaion of a total hip replacement done with the direct anterior approach. This approach cuts less muscle, leading to less pain and quicker recovery. There is minimal dislocation risk so there are no precautions or restrictions. The technique is done with computer or xray guidance, which ensures anatomical component positioning.

  • My husband was crippled by a DePuy Pinnacle metal-on-metal hip replacement. Surgery was in December 2008, and he never recovered. Besides always present unbearable pain, his levels of toxic metal poisoning are 300times higher than normal. It is only a matter of time when other organs like kidneys, liver, and other get effected. DePuy and large parts of the medical community downplay all the issues, and delay legal procedures as good as they can. Only hope: DePuy Pinnacle MDL Case in Dallas/TX
