Direct Anterior Approach in Robotic Total Hip Replacement

Fortis Hospitals, Bangalore, is proud to offer the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) in Robotic Total Hip Replacement, a minimally invasive technique that significantly enhances patient recovery and outcomes. This innovative approach, combined with Mako Robotic technology, represents the pinnacle of orthopaedic care.

Understanding the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA):

The DAA is a surgical technique that accesses the hip joint from the front of the body, minimizing muscle disruption. This approach offers several advantages over traditional hip replacement methods:

• Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions and reduced tissue trauma lead to faster recovery.
• Muscle Preservation: Accessing the hip through natural muscle intervals minimizes damage, reducing post-operative pain and weakness.
• Improved Stability: Precise implant placement, facilitated by both DAA and robotic technology, enhances hip stability and reduces dislocation risk.

Mako Robotic Assistance in DAA Hip Replacement:

Fortis Hospitals utilizes the Mako Robotic System to further refine the DAA procedure. This advanced technology provides:

• 3D Surgical Planning: Pre-operative 3D modelling allows for customized surgical plans.
• Enhanced Precision: Robotic assistance ensures accurate implant placement, minimizing human error.
• Real-time Feedback: Surgeons receive real-time data, optimizing surgical outcomes.

Benefits of Robotic-Assisted DAA Hip Replacement at Fortis:

• Faster Recovery: Patients experience reduced pain and quicker return to daily activities.
• Improved Implant Accuracy: Robotic assistance ensures optimal implant positioning.
• Reduced Complications: Minimally invasive techniques and precise planning minimize risks.
• Less Scarring: Smaller incisions result in aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
