Surgeon's experience
The AnteroLateral approach is an anteriorbased, muscle-sparing technique that utilizes the intermuscular interval between the Tensor Fasciae Latae and the Gluteus Medius. This approach brings four main advantages: 1) The skin incision is slightly more lateral, avoiding the lateral femorocutaneus nerve. 2) The wound healing is improved. 3) It brings all the benefits of the anterior approach, as the lower risk of dislocation. 4) The fascia surrounding the Tensor Fascia Latae muscle is preserved.
The Anterolateral approach is supported by the Medacta Patient Positioner, allowing for a stable and reproducible positioning of the patient through the entire surgery and for an easy and reliable leg length assessment. The Medacta Patient Positioner is composed by two fully adjustable supports (length, height, rotation); the posterior one is in contact with the sacrum and the anterior one is in contact with the pubis.
