Abstract
The anterior approach to the hip, initially described by Hueter, has been modified and used by Jean and Robert Judet since 1947 for fixing an acrylic prosthesis rendering this approach completely mini-invasive by avoiding any muscular disinsertion or sectioning of tendons [1]. When we learnt about the possibilities of using the navigation technique for a hip prosthesis using the OrthoPilot system, we decided to combine these two innovations so as to induce a minimum of aggression and a maximum of security while fixing a hip prosthesis.A study carried out on the positioning of the acetabulum, with or without navigation, as well as a comparison between two navigation systems attempts to validate the accuracy of the procedure.KeywordsTotal hip replacementAnterior approachMini-invasive surgeryNavigation technique
