Minimal invasive surgery for hip replacement: a new technique using the NILNAV hip system

Abstract: This new minimal access total hip replacement technique was successfully performed on seven patients. There are several advantages of using this system compared with the more traditional techniques. Such a technique should help reduce morbidity and mortality rates for those patients undergoing a total hip replacement.

“…Recently, the concept of minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been introduced by some authors [1,2,10,11,15] and the media picked up and promoted it without having enough evidence-based facts about the results [12,14]. The advocates of minimally invasive THA use modified posterolateral [2,7,15,18], ventral [19], anterolateral [10] or lateral [3,9] one-incision techniques or the two-incision approach described by Berger [1]. These techniques would have to be less invasive to the muscles or bone, and result in shorter recovery time, less pain and blood loss, shorter hospitalization time, fewer complications and better cosmetic results.…”
