For patients facing long wait times or overwhelming costs in countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, or Canada, having a hip replacement abroad is becoming an increasingly practical—and safer—option. One of the most advanced surgical techniques available today is the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA). At Hips and Knees Joint Restoration and Replacement Center in the Philippines, international patients are choosing this innovative method to regain mobility and reclaim their lives—at a fraction of the price.
What Is the Direct Anterior Approach in Hip Replacement?
The Direct Anterior Approach is a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing surgical technique that replaces the hip joint without cutting through major muscles. Unlike traditional methods that access the hip from the side or back, the DAA uses a front (anterior) incision, allowing for:
- Faster post-operative recovery
- Less pain and fewer movement restrictions
- Improved joint stability and mobility
- Lower risk of dislocation
This approach is especially beneficial for active retirees and middle-aged adults who want to return to daily activities and independent living more quickly.
Why Choose the Philippines for Hip Replacement Surgery?
Choosing to have your hip replacement surgery in the Philippines offers a unique combination of clinical excellence, affordability, and personalized care. Here’s why so many patients from the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East are traveling to our center for treatment:
Save 50–70% on Surgery Costs
Hip replacement in countries like the U.S. or Australia can cost anywhere from $30,000 to $60,000. In contrast, our center in the Philippines offers all-inclusive, transparent pricing with no hidden fees—often at one-third the price.
