Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Investigation of the medial approach to the hip joint.
  • Development of a surgical technique for hip joint replacement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and validate a minimally invasive medial hip replacement technique.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of the medial approach for hip arthroplasty.

Main Methods:

  • Anatomical study of the medial hip approach.
  • Temporary detachment of the adductor longus tendon for optimal surgical exposure.
  • Utilizing standard surgical instrumentation.

Main Results:

  • Achieved excellent surgical site exposure without damaging critical structures.
  • Demonstrated minimal blood loss during the procedure.

  • Confirmed the feasibility of the operation with standard instruments.

    • Conclusions:

    • Preservation of the abductor apparatus (gluteal muscles and fascia lata) and the superior gluteal nerve.
    • Enables immediate postoperative lateral positioning for patients.
    • Results in an unremarkable scar and a safe surgical option for hip arthroplasty.
