Kolkata-10th May Rise above hip pain, For many, chronic hip pain, stiffness, and restricted mobility can turn simple daily activities—like walking, bending, or sitting—into painful and exhausting tasks.
Common causes of these symptoms include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, or even tumors in the hip joint. These conditions severely impact quality of life, making every movement painful and robbing people of everyday joys.
Doctors often recommend Total Hip Replacement to relieve these symptoms when medication alone is not effective. However, traditional hip replacement surgery involves cutting through large muscles to reach the joint, which can result in more postoperative pain, a longer recovery time, and a higher risk of joint dislocation.
Modern medical science now offers a better solution—Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) Hip Replacement.
With DAA, the surgeon accesses the hip joint from the front, sparing major muscles. This results in less pain, quicker recovery, and better outcomes.
Benefits of the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA):
No muscle cutting
Faster recovery and earlier mobility
Reduced pain and complications due to minimal tissue damage
Greater joint stability with lower risk of dislocation
Smaller, less visible scar
Precise implant positioning with intraoperative imaging
This is more than just a surgery—it’s a smoother, more comfortable path to getting your life back.
