Abstract
The direct anterior approach, or Hueter׳s approach, has a long history of successful use in modern hip arthroplasty. It does not require special tools or expensive equipment. It is suitable for use with all types of hip prostheses and affords excellent visibility and safety. Positioning of the patient is simple, and manipulation of the limb is minimal. The direct anterior approach is associated with less muscle damage and an earlier return of function compared to other approaches. It has an honorable past and a great future as increasing numbers of surgeons use this approach as their standard for total hip arthroplasty.
