THE ANTERIOR APPROACH - A LOGICAL APPROACH FOR MIS SURGERY
The anterior approach is the only approach that follows both an intermuscular and internervous path, potentially reducing the risk of damage to periarticular structures, including muscles, tendons, vessels and nerves.
Its use in Total Hip Replacement goes back many years and advantages have been extensively reported in the literature. However, we recognize that it can be challenging to adopt. Convinced of the value of the anterior approach for improving patient wellbeing, but at the same time acknowledging the potential challenges, an international group of expert surgeons (now the AMIS Education Board), in collaboration with Medacta, set out to optimize and standardize the anterior approach, to make it more straightforward and enhance its reproducibility. The result of this collaboration was the AMIS (Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery) technique, created in 2004, along with the development of dedicated instrumentation to facilitate the procedure.
AMIS is an evolution of the anterior approach: simpler, more reproducible and less invasive[4].
The M.O.R.E. AMIS Education Program has proven to be of the highest standard of extensive medical education, demonstrating to effectively ease the learning curve.
Specifically designed to facilitate implantation through the anterior approach, with success evidenced by clinical outcomes and customer satisfaction.
Developed specifically to make the AMIS technique easier and more reproducible.
