Direct Anterior Approach vs Traditional Hip Replacement Choosing the right hip replacement method matters. Dr. Amit Garud, the only surgeon in Kalyan and among the few in Mumbai internationally trained in DAA hip replacement, explains how this approach differs from traditional surgery. Traditional hip replacement often requires cutting or detaching muscles. DAA, however, approaches the hip from the front, allowing muscle preservation, quicker mobility and reduced postoperative discomfort. Key Differences (Explained by Dr. Amit Garud) • MuscleSparing: DAA avoids cutting major muscles • Faster Recovery: Patients walk earlier and heal quicker • Smaller Incision: Less tissue trauma and more cosmetic • Lower Dislocation Risk: Stronger muscle support • Better Comfort: Less pain and smoother rehabilitation With international training and many successful DAA surgeries, Dr. Amit Garud guides each patient in Kalyan toward the safest and most effective option.
