Abstract

The use of minimally invasive direct anterior approach to perform total hip arthroplasty is gaining increasing popularity for its short-term advantages, compared to other approaches. Nevertheless, its use in hip revision surgery has been criticized. We report here the first case of hip septic arthritis treated with two-stage THA through this tissue-sparing approach, with good implant positioning and functional results.
