Total Hip Replacement is a safe and clini­cally proven surgical procedure.
Implant manufacturers and orthopaedic surgeons have been working in partner­ship on Total Hip Replacement for many years, the former improving and master­ing the materials used, and the latter refin­ing the implantation techniques.

Medacta® International is committed to becoming a preferred partner for new technologies such as in total hip arthroplasty through the minimally invasive anterior approach (the AMIS® approach = Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery).
A true Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is characterized by a reduced skin incision and the preservation of muscles and tendons.

The anterior approach follows the princi­ples of MIS. Other approaches advertised as minimally invasive (posterior, lateral, or double incision approach) are associated with muscles and/or tendon injury and thus are only reduced skin incision techniques.

The anterior approach, strengthened by several years of clinical experience, is the only technique which follows a path both intermuscular and internervous and therefore considerably reduces the risk of damage to periarticular structures such as muscles, tendons, vessels and nerves.

For this reason the AMIS® approach is the ideal approach for atraumatic hip replacement surgery which is fundamental for a fast recovery.
