Hip Surgery: Biomet
Inc., and the Texas Center for Joint Replacement present the
Microplasty® ASI (Anterior Supine Intermuscular) Hip Procedure from
Presbyterian Hospital of Plano. Join Roger H. Emerson, Jr., MD, from
The Texas Center for Joint Replacement for this live webcast at 4:00 pm
CT (22:00 UTC)
The anterior supine hip approach is truly minimally invasive since no
muscles are cut during exposure of the hip joint. This will permit the
most rapid return to activities possible after hip surgery and should
minimize some of the muscle atrophy seen with the posterior approach,
which necessitates splitting of the Gluteus Maximus and cutting some of
the hip rotators. The risk of hip dislocation is minimized by the
anterior approach since the posterior soft tissue sling that supports
the hip is flexion is less disturbed.
