Purpose:
The purpose of this video is to demonstrate a surgical technique for a hemiarthroplasty of the hip joint through a direct anterior approach. We have found this technique to be a viable option for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures.
Methods:
Multiple approaches to the hip are described for arthroplasty. Direct anterior approach for hemiarthroplasty is a safe, reproducible approach.
Results:
The video displays our technique for performing a direct anterior approach to the hip joint for a hemiarthroplasty in the setting of a displaced femoral neck fracture.
Conclusions:
Hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fractures in the elderly population is becoming increasingly more common. The direct anterior approach to the hip joint provides a safe approach for this procedure. The following video demonstrates our key principles when performing this technique.
