Orthopedic surgeon Farzin Kabaei, MD, has added the bikini incision direct anterior approach as part of his hip replacement program, according to a Feb. 5 news release.
The technique uses an incision along the natural skin crease of the hip for a discreet and cosmetically favorable scar. The hip replacement approach allows the surgeon to access the joint through a natural interval between muscles instead of cutting through them or deteching muscle from bone.
Not every patient is a candidate for the bikini incision direct anterior approach. Candidacy includes factors related to anatomy, body type, overall health and the nature of a patient’s hip condition.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
