3D planning
Planning anticipates component size and position, centre of rotation, offset and leg length.
No traction table
Keeping the leg free allows direct intraoperative testing of stability and clinical control of length.
Implants
Ceramic-on-polyethylene bearings are frequently used; head size and dual mobility are adapted to anatomy and instability risk.
Fixation
Femoral fixation is adapted to bone quality. Cemented stems are frequently favoured in older or osteoporotic patients when fracture risk is a concern.
Activity
After a routine stable primary anterior THA, Dr Stanovici does not generally impose a universal list of forbidden daily movements. Sport returns progressively.
