We are proud to announce a milestone achievement in orthopaedic care at Saideep Sahyadri Hospital, Ahilyanagar! Under the expert hands of Dr. Abhijeet Nalkar, our renowned orthopaedic surgeon, we have successfully performed the hospital’s first Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) hip replacement surgery—a cutting-edge, minimally invasive technique that offers faster recovery and superior outcomes for patients.
What is Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) Hip Replacement?
The Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) is an advanced surgical technique for total hip replacement where the surgeon accesses the hip joint from the front (anterior) rather than the side or back. This method involves minimal muscle cutting, as the surgeon works between natural muscle planes, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues.
Key Benefits of DAA Hip Replacement:
✔ Minimally Invasive – No major muscles are cut, leading to less post-operative pain
✔ Faster Recovery – Patients often walk the same or next day with reduced rehabilitation time
✔ Lower Dislocation Risk – Enhanced stability due to preserved muscle and soft tissue
✔ Precise Implant Positioning – Improved accuracy for better long-term function
✔ Smaller Incision – Less scarring compared to traditional approaches
