Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) by the anterolateral approach with the patient in supine position is described in this chapter. The approach is a muscle preserving modification of the conventional Watson-Jones approach [1].
Please make yourself familiar with the handling of the instruments, the product-related surgical technique and the warnings, the safety notes, as well as the recommendations of the instruction leaflet before using an implant manufactured by Mathys Ltd Bettlach. Make use of the Mathys user training and proceed according to the recommended surgical technique.
