Hip pain and stiffness caused by conditions such as arthritis, avascular necrosis, or hip joint degeneration can severely impact your mobility and quality of life. These conditions occur when the protective cartilage covering the hip joint wears down, leading to inflammation, friction, and chronic discomfort. Dr. Supreet Bajwa, a leading orthopedic and hip replacement surgeon in Mumbai, Maharashtra, offers advanced treatment options including the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) to Hip Replacement, a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing technique that allows for faster recovery and less pain. Dr. Bajwa provides comprehensive preoperative evaluation, surgical expertise, and personalized postoperative care to help patients regain an active life.

Dr. Supreet Bajwa, a leading hip replacement surgeon in Mumbai, India, is widely recognized as the pioneer of the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) for hip replacement in India. He was among the first orthopedic surgeons to introduce this advanced, minimally invasive technique to the country and continues to train other surgeons in performing DAA hip replacements safely and effectively.

Through innovation, precision, and compassionate care, Dr. Bajwa has transformed how hip arthritis and degenerative hip conditions are treated in India.

What is the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) to Hip Replacement?

The Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) is a modern, muscle-sparing technique for total hip replacement. Unlike traditional approaches that require cutting through muscles and tendons, DAA allows surgeons to reach the hip joint from the front, gently separating the muscles instead.

This results in less pain, faster recovery, and improved joint function - making it one of the most patient-friendly methods for hip replacement available today.

DAA is used to treat a wide range of conditions that cause hip pain and stiffness, including arthritis, avascular necrosis, and post-traumatic injuries.

Conditions Treated

Osteoarthritis of the Hip
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Avascular Necrosis (Osteonecrosis)
Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Benefits of Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement

Smaller incision and minimal soft tissue disruption
Less postoperative pain and scarring
Shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery
Early return to walking and normal activities
Lower risk of dislocation
Greater accuracy in implant positioning
Reduced need for post-surgery restrictions

Advanced Technology and Surgical Technique

DAA hip replacement requires specialized tables and precision-guided instruments that allow surgeons to work through the natural planes of the body. During surgery, the patient lies on their back, and a small incision (about 3–4 inches) is made at the front of the hip. Muscles are separated, not cut, giving direct access to the hip joint.

Damaged bone and cartilage are removed, and the joint is replaced with high-quality implants using fluoroscopic guidance to ensure precise alignment and equal leg length.

This advanced technology minimizes trauma and allows for faster recovery, typically enabling patients to walk within 24–48 hours after surgery.
