Total Hip Arthroplasty Using the AMIS Method: Surgical Technique, Suitability of This Method for Obese Patients, Evaluation of the Study Population

Abstract

PurPOse Of The sTuDyThis manuscript aims to introduce our surgical technique, with an emphasis on the latest recommendations. The AMIs technique is discussed in more detail in patients with Class II and Class III obesity. We seek to prove the premise claiming that the anteversion and inclination values observed in this group of patients do not differ significantly from those observed in patients with the recommended BMI index. We will also compare the risk of neurovascular bundle injury and postoperative complication rate regarding the surgical wound.
