Abstract
The direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an increasingly popular surgical approach with numerous benefits cited in the literature. However, it is not without a well-documented “learning curve”, during which time potential difficulties can occur. This article outlines the authors’ technique of performing the DAA on a standard operating room table, with particular attention paid to technical specifics that may be helpful to the surgeon in performing this operation safely.
