Compared to other methods, it has significant advantages.

• • • The operation is performed without section or injury to the muscles, tendons and nerves.

This means that:

• • Blood loss is less, so that a transfusion is generally avoided
  • Postoperative pain is significantly less
  • The patients can stand up on the first postoperative day
  • Very soon they go back to normal everyday activities, so that they avoid the danger of muscle atrophy, which is a common result of prolonged immobility
• The ASI technique permits exact control of leg length during the operation, so that the danger of length discrepancy is avoided.
• It permits control of stability of the joint during the operation, so that the danger of postoperative dislocation is reduced to practically zero.
• X-ray control during surgery ensures optimal placement of implants.
• The technique is suitable for all body types. Increased body weight does not affect the procedure, because the point of incision naturally has very little fatty tissue.
• Total duration of the procedure is shorter than that of classic techniques
