The Anterior Less Invasive Approach to the Hip Joint (LISA)-Technical Description for Treatment in the Elderly for Hip Endoprosthesis after Femoral Neck Fracture

Minimally invasive Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) aims at reduction of tissue damage to accelerate recovery. The anterior approach promises optimal soft tissue preservation. The anterior minimal-invasive approach used in his study consists of a modified Smith-Petersen-Approach. In order to reduce the morbidity rate, a standardised use of minimally invasive surgical approach has been evaluated in endoprosthetic surgery of geriatric patients. Aim of this study is to present a minimal-invasive approach to the hip joint (modified Smith-Petersen-Approach) as a standard in geriatric hip fracture endoprosthesis under the aspect of approach morbidity reduction.
