This comprehensive book is a culmination of Dr. K. Mohan Iyer's lifetime work, based on his extensive research conducted at the University of Liverpool, United Kingdom. Dr. Iyer's innovative approach to the hip joint, known as the modified posterior approach, has been his focus since 1981. The book delves into various aspects of hip surgery, including the anterior approach on a standard operating table. It explores total hip replacement as a day-case procedure, highlighting its evolution and the principles of the anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty. The author provides detailed discussions on patient selection, superficial and deep dissection techniques, and the use of specialized surgical instruments.

Furthermore, the book offers an in-depth exploration of the direct anterior approach (DAA), demonstrating how it can be performed on a plain table, making it particularly valuable in countries like India, where specialized operating tables and instruments may not be readily available. This book serves as a valuable resource for aspiring orthopedic surgeons worldwide, particularly those interested in mastering the DAA technique for hip joint surgery.
