Anterior Approach

Clinical Information and Evidence

Minimally invasive or tissue-sparing orthopaedic procedures have gained attention as patients demand shortened recovery time and accelerated rehabilitation. Development of efficient, repeatable, tissue-sparing total hip replacement procedures is important.

The Anterior Approach, as described by Dr. Joel Matta, utilizes a tissue sparing philosophy. DePuy Synthes has collaborated with Joel Matta, M.D., to build a comprehensive training and education program around the Anterior Approach.

PINNACLE^® Hip Solutions

PINNACLE^® Hip Solutions is a modular cup system designed with a wide range of acetabular cup options, biological and mechanical fixation alternatives and advanced bearing technologies that allows surgeons the flexibility to choose intraoperatively from among the most advanced technologies available depending on their patients’ individual needs. The PINNACLE Cup celebrated 15 years of clinical heritage in 2015 and over 3 million cups¹ have been provided to patients worldwide.

TRI-LOCK^® Bone Preservation Stem

The original TRI-LOCK Stem was introduced in 1981. This implant was the first proximally coated tapered-wedge hip stem available to orthopaedic surgeons and their patients. Since its introduction, the original TRI-LOCK Stem has demonstrated 95% survivorship at 10 years.^2,3,4,5

The reduced lateral shoulder, thin geometry and optimised length of the TRI-LOCK Bone Preservation Stem are designed to reduce the amount of bone removed from the patient. These same features, along with approach enabling instrumentation, allow the surgeon to perform minimally invasive techniques.

ACTIS™ Total Hip System

The ACTIS^® Total Hip System is the first DePuy Synthes Companies of Johnson & Johnson stem specifically designed to be utilized with tissue sparing approaches, such as the anterior approach, as well as traditional approaches. The implant and instrumentation are designed to balance ease-of-insertion and may potentially provide improved implant stability.⁶

CORAIL^® Total Hip System

With more than 2 million stems⁷ provided for patients worldwide and thirty years of clinical heritage, the CORAIL^® Total Hip System now has the most extensive experience with a hydroxyapatite (HA) coated stem. Combining basic design features including shape, surface finish and extensive hydroxyapatite coating, with a simple compaction broach-only surgical technique, the CORAIL Total Hip System has demonstrated reproducible results and long-term biomechanical joint restoration.
