OVERVIEW
Please join us for the 9th Annual Direct Anterior Approach Hip Course, October 8 - 10, 2020, in Houston, Texas, at the JW Marriott Houston.
The anterior approach for total hip replacement is an important surgical alternative to the traditional hip replacement protocol: The approach is tissue-sparing and results in less pain, faster patient recovery, and improved mobility related to the lesser trauma provided by the procedure. The 8th Annual Direct Anterior Approach Hip Course will offer a thorough education on the surgical and patient processes associated with the anterior hip approach, from patient selection through patient recovery and follow-up.
This course is intended for surgeons already using this procedure and are interested in honing their skills. It will be taught by some of the most well-regarded orthopaedic surgeons practicing today. With didactic presentations, video vignettes, and case-based panel discussions, this exciting program will also feature live surgeries and 3+ hours of hands-on bioskills workshops to enhance the educational environment.
We hope to see you for this unique educational experience!

Course Description
The anterior approach for total hip replacement is an important surgical alternative to the traditional hip replacement protocol: The approach is tissue-sparing and results in less pain, faster patient recovery, and improved mobility related to the lesser trauma provided by the procedure. The 8th Annual Direct Anterior Approach Hip Course will offer a thorough education on the surgical and patient processes associated with the anterior hip approach, from patient selection through patient recovery and follow-up.
This course is intended for surgeons already using this procedure and are interested in honing their skills. While the course will cover some advanced topics on the last day, the majority of the course will focus on the fundamentals of the anterior approach and providing attendees with practical knowledge that can be applied immediately to your practice.It will be taught by some of the most well-regarded orthopaedic surgeons practicing today. With didactic presentations, video vignettes, and case-based panel discussions, this exciting program will also feature live surgeries and 3+ hours of hands-on cadaver workshops to enhance the educational environment.
Target Audience
Orthopaedic surgeons, fellows, residents, and other orthopaedic healthcare professionals who are engaged in the management of patients with hip pathology and who have experience with the direct anterior approach to total hip arthroplasty.
Learning Objectives
- Identify key areas of the direct anterior approach surgical procedure, such as locating the interval between tensor fasciae latae and sartorius, ligating the lateral femoral circumflex vessels, mobilizing and elevating the femur to ream the distal canal, and correctly positioning the cup.
- Compare and evaluate the design rationales, clinical outcomes, and features of different hip implants related to their appropriate use in the direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA).
- Evaluate, discuss, and compare technologies that may be used to facilitate direct anterior approach THA, including specialized instrumentation, surgical tables, and computer navigation.
- Discuss the patient selection criteria used to identify patients for whom primary or revision THA through the direct anterior approach may be indicated, as well as those for whom this approach may be contraindicated.
- Identify and discuss perioperative treatment protocols specifically related to direct anterior approach THA, including pain management, prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), control of bleeding, prevention and management of infection, and rehabilitation, including the roles of staff in each of these steps.
- Discuss and compare the clinical outcomes for direct anterior approach THA versus other surgical approach for THA, including length of stay, rehabilitation, postoperative restrictions, occurrence of infection and DVT, pain management, and return to activities of daily living.
- Discuss key surgical steps for performing revision THA through the direct anterior approach, including extensile skin incisions, removal of acetabular components, use of grafts to manage acetabular defects, and the removal of well-fixed femoral components using a proximal or distal osteotomy.
