The two-incision minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty: technique and results.

Minimally invasive surgery has the potential for minimizing surgical trauma, pain, and recovery time in patients having THA. This minimally invasive two-incision total hip technique was found to be safe and facilitated a rapid patient recovery. Further-more, unique instruments and fluoroscopic assistance ensure accurate component position and alignment. This technique is technically challenging, however; as such, proper training, including cadaveric training, is essential to minimize complications and ensure success.
