Anterior Approach Surgery

DePuy Orthopaedics has also championed a groundbreaking surgical technique, Anterior Approach surgery, to help keep you moving. The Anterior Approach is an alternative to traditional hip replacement surgery. The surgeon works between the muscles and tissues without detaching them. Because of this, you may experience less pain, a faster recovery and improved mobility.
