Abstract
There has been controversy about the benefits of minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty. There cannot be any logical argument against any type of surgery performed with the least amount of soft tissue damage, be it muscles, nerves, blood vessels, or skin. The anterior approach through one or two short incisions and surgery through internervous planes seems to be the most logical. Our series of this approach with an incision as short as possible but as long as necessary has demonstrated its effectiveness in terms of few dislocations, thromboembolic events, minimal intraoperative complications, and minor transient nerve problems. With some modifications and standardization of the procedure, it should be reproducible and safe at other centers. Modular femoral components should make it even more effective.
