There are a number of different approaches used when performing hip joint arthroplasty. To date there is no compelling evidence in the literature to show one particular approach is vastly superior over the other, but consensus of professional opinion favours either the posterior approach or the modified anterio-lateral approach (direct-anterior approach).
The key defining feature of minimally invasive hip surgery compared with traditional hip surgery is the surgical approach taken. In minimally invasive hip surgery the surgeon does not have to cut muscles to access the hip.
