DAA (Direct Anterior Approach)

The Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) is a surgical method for hip replacement that accesses the joint from the front of the body. This technique minimizes muscle and tissue disruption because it avoids cutting through major muscles, leading to potentially faster recovery and less pain. Surgeons carefully work between existing tissues to replace the hip joint using specialized instruments. DAA is often preferred for its minimally invasive nature, helping patients regain mobility sooner and reducing the risk of certain complications. It’s a well-established method performed by trained orthopedic surgeons to improve outcomes for those with hip joint degeneration.
