Anterolateral Approach in Minimally Invasive Total Hip Arthroplasty (DVD)

This title focuses on: hip, knee & lower extremity. Dr. Remia describes the indications for and the technique of total hip arthroplasty using a minimally invasive anterolateral approach. Pre-operative patient selection, templating, and operating room setup are discussed. Live surgical video demonstrates patient positioning, landmarks, and how to select the site for skin incision. The muscular interval is clearly shown for this minimally invasive approach. Step-by-step demonstrations of preliminary and definitive femoral neck osteotomy, acetabular preparation and implantation, femoral preparation, trial reduction, definitive femoral implantation, final reduction, and closure are included.
