Thanks to the AMIS^® technique risks are decreased when compared to a standard technique both in the short and in the medium term.

In fact, it has been demonstrated that:

• After Total Hip Replacement, trochanteric soft tissue abnormalities may be associated with residual trochanteric pain and limping, in other words with symptomatic patients. Defects of the abductor tendons and fatty atrophy of the gluteus medius and the posterior part of the gluteus minimus muscle are rare in asymptomatic patients ^1,2.
• The use of the anterior approach for Primary Total Hip Replacement shows, that at one year after surgery better functional results and a smaller extent of injury in the muscle and tendon units compared to other approaches^3.

This means that the AMIS^® approach shows that at one year after surgery less symptomatic muscle degeneration compared with other approaches.

Therefore the AMIS^® technique should provide better results in the short and medium term and an improved long term quality of life for your patients.
