The New Surgical Technique to the Positioning of Hip Prosthetic Implants: The Medial-Inguinal Approach

Abstract

Introduction: True to the concept of Tissue Sparing Surgery, we invented this new surgical technique to reach the coxo-femoral joint by starting at the inguinal-medial region. Metthods: We performed total hip arthroplasty on 50 patients suffering from hip arthritis, and hemiarthroplasty with bipolar prostheses implants on 15 cases on medial fractures of femoral neck. Results: In our case study, operation time and blood loss were lower, there were no complications, and recovery time was incredibly fast. Discussion: We have invented a surgical process that allows for a safe, easy and fast replacement of the hip, and that spares the hip stabilizer muscles completely. Throughout the operation, the surgeon can view the acetabulum from the front
