To Jamie, Grey, and Matthew Rubin, Marilyn and Richard Rubin, Carole and Bill Labell, and Isrella and Howard Abrams: I am deeply grateful for your lifetimes of love and support. To Kris Keggi, Michael Ehrlich, and Gary Friedlaender, I will be forever grateful for your mentorship and friendship. To Ed Akelman, Mary O’Connor, Ted Blaine, Jon Grauer, and Lisa Lattanza, thank you for believing in me and for helping to guide my personal and professional growth at every stage of my academic career. Lee E. Rubin, MD, FAAOS, FAAHKS, FAOA Dr. Kris Keggi and I conferred many years ago at a meeting and shared our vision of a book dedicated to anterior hip surgery. The first edition proved to be remarkably successful. Other books addressing anterior hip surgery have since appeared, a testimony to how a classic approach to the hip joint has been increasingly adopted in the modern era, thanks to new implants and instruments, a rich collaboration among peers, and the tireless dedication to teaching by pioneering surgeons, such as Drs. Joel Matta and Kris Keggi, to whom we owe a special debt of gratitude. On behalf of the editorial team, I want to convey a special thank you to Dr. Lee E. Rubin, who undertook the herculean task of updating the first edition of our book, even with his busy professional responsibilities. With Lee’s leadership, we expanded and updated the contents, while encompassing the experience and perspectives of international scholars into this 2nd edition. With new authors and section editors, this refreshed work should serve surgeons worldwide, and help improve patient outcomes. Since the first edition, while my career has taken new directions into law and corporate management, at heart I will always be an orthopaedic surgeon, and proudly so. No words can properly acknowledge the generous support and encouragement of my wonderful family, from parents, to children, and above all, my wonderful wife Dana. My gratitude and respect also go out to my fellowship mentor Dr. William Harris, and to the late Dr. Bill Allen at the University of Missouri, whose quiet guidance and support built my arthroplasty career, and sparked a lasting interest in ceramic biomaterials. B. Sonny Bal, MD, MBA, JD, PhD To my beloved wife, Pam, whose unwavering support has been the foundation upon which I have built my career and pursued my passion for orthopaedic surgery. Your constant encouragement, patience, and understanding have been my guiding light, and I dedicate this textbook to you. Thank you for being my rock and standing by my side throughout this journey. To my mentors, Drs. Louis Ripley, Bob Pruner, Gwo Wang and Les Borden, whose invaluable guidance and expertise shaped me into the orthopaedic surgeon I am today. Your wisdom, mentorship, and belief in my abilities were instrumental in my development and success. I am forever grateful for the opportunities you provided and the knowledge you imparted. This textbook is a testament to your dedication and commitment to the advancement of orthopaedic surgery, and this work is dedicated to your memory.
And finally, to my entire family, whose unconditional love and support have been a constant source of strength and motivation. This textbook is dedicated to you, as a token of my gratitude for your unwavering support and belief in my abilities. Joseph T. Moskal, MD, FAAOS, FAAHKS, FAOA, FACS Copyright © Wolters Kluwer, Inc.

grandfather Luda Bērziņš in Jūrmala, Latvia; established the “Keggi Velo,” a bike race in memory of his father; and was the founder of the Luda Bērziņš Prize. Keggi was the first surgeon to perform total hip arthroplasty using the minimally invasive anterior approach in the 1970s and published his early experi ences and case series for the scientific community. He is widely considered to be the pioneer, innovator, and advocate for the anterior approach in the United States. In 2016, Dr. Keggi collaborated with Drs. Sonny Bal and Lee E. Rubin to publish The Direct Anterior Approach to Hip Reconstruction . He was the recipient of multiple national and interna tional awards and four honorary doctorates. These have included the Latvian Order of the Three Stars in 1993, the V Class Order of the Estonian Red Cross in 1999, the Distinguished Service Medal of the Latvian Physicians Association (the second ever awarded) in 2009, and the Silver Medal of Medical Dignity and Service to Russian Medicine in 2012. He received the George H.W. Bush Lifetime of Leadership Award from Yale University in 2005. In 1994, the Pauls Stradiņš Museum of the History of Medicine and the Latvian Academy of the Sciences awarded him the Pauls Stradiņš Prize. Keggi is an Honorary Member of the Latvian Academy of Sciences (1990) and the Russian Academy of Sciences (1993), and holds honorary degrees from the Riga Stradiņš University (1997) and the University of Latvia (2009). He also received the 2019 Humanitarian Service Award from the Connecticut Orthopaedic Society.

Kristaps Juris Keggi, MD
Kristaps Juris Keggi, MD, (1934 2023) was Professor Emeritus at the Yale University School of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation. On July 4, 2023, he passed away peacefully and unex pectedly in his home at age 88. His extraordinary life began in Riga, Latvia on August 9, 1934, when he was born in the family
of surgeon Jānis and Ruta Kegi as the second of four brothers. His grandfather was folklorist, teacher, and pastor Ludis Bērziņš (1870-1965). During World War II, he fled with his family to Germany in 1944 then to the United States in 1949. He studied medicine at Yale University (1951-1959) and completed his surgical internship at the Roosevelt Hospital in New York fol lowed by Residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at Yale-New Haven Hospital in 1965. From 1965 to 1966, he partic ipated in the Vietnam War as a military surgeon, and was stationed with the 173rd Airborne as Chief of Surgery at the 3rd Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in Biên Hòa, Vietnam. In 1966, he rejoined the Yale University faculty as an assistant professor. Dr. Keggi was in clinical practice from 1966 through 2016, performing orthopaedic surgery at both St. Mary’s Hospital (1969-1989) and Waterbury Hospital (1969 2018). He served as the director of Waterbury Hospital’s Orthopaedic Center for Joint Reconstruction and as a Senior Research Scientist at the Yale School of Medicine during that time. In 1989, Dr. Keggi became a Clinical Professor of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation at Yale University, was elected full professor in the Department at Yale in 2008, was named Elihu Professor of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation in 2010, and retired from clinical practice to become a Professor Emeritus on December 31, 2016. Since 1987, he regularly visited Latvia, where he per formed demonstration operations, conducted seminars, and delivered numerous lectures both in Latvia and the surrounding Baltic Nations. In 1988, he founded the nonprofit Keggi Orthopaedic Foundation to allow for formal academic exchanges between the United States and the USSR. The organization provided fellowships in advanced orthopaedic surgery at both the Yale School of Medicine and Waterbury Hospital for more than 300 surgeons from the Baltic nations, Russia, and Vietnam. In 1990, he founded the memorial museum of his

continued to enjoy his affiliations with the Country Club of Waterbury and Highfield. He was thinking about retiring but maintained that working was his lifestyle of choice. He remained an active father, grandfather, teacher, mentor, healer, and inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to know him. Keggi was preceded in death in March 2022 by his beloved wife of 64 years, Julia Grant Quarles. The couple first met on the steps of Buckingham Palace in London during a tour of Europe in the 1950s. They were
married a year later and ultimately moved to Middlebury, Connecticut in 1969, where Kris and Julie became pil lars of the Middlebury Congregational Church and their broader community. Kris and Julie are survived by their three daughters Catherine Keggi Hunter (Howard), Mara Keggi Ford (Donald), Caroline Saunders Keggi (Connie Wilson) and five grandchildren George Quarles Hunter (Caitlion), Julia Hunter Bookman (Zachary), Christopher Daly Ford, Alexander Walden Ford, and Eliza Hannah Ford.

Foreword
In his recent book Innovators , Walter Isaacson describes some of the common characteristics of inno vators and innovations. Based on my understanding, and I could be mis taken of course, an idea or a product will be considered as a true innova tion only if it improves on the state of the art and provides better life for
endovascular surgery, mostly vascular and cardiac sur geons, have now found themselves in the middle of a shrinking subspecialty. Their skill to handle a #10 knife is not required any more. Interventional radiologists/ cardiologists have come to celebrate the birth of a new profession, and, once again, the patients are the benefi ciaries of these innovations. I realize that to some performing a total hip arthro plasty through the direct anterior approach (DAA) may not be seem as great of a leap as laparoscopic or endovascular surgery. However, one common denomi nator between these innovations does clearly exist. The innovators in orthopaedics also wished to depart from an imperfect status quo. They strived to elevate the pro fession to a different height. Be it the continued limp after direct lateral approach, the high dislocation rate after posterior approach, or whatever the other issues were with the status quo, the innovators chose to travel a different journey. I started performing DAA hip arthroplasty in 2005. I soon realized the difference in outcomes that our patients experienced. I was convinced it was the right solution to many problems, and I set out to perfect the technique in my operating room. I was a proponent of the technique and did not shy away from expressing such devotion. I recall a heated debate in a meeting in Brazil. My opponent, a well-known and respected surgeon and ex-president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, decided to use mockery to argue his points. The moderator of the session, also an ex-president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and clearly not aware of his responsibility of remaining neutral to the debate, also resorted to “humor” to stress his points. I walked off the stage feeling defeated but further devoted to the cause. The DAA has stood the test of time. Based on the 2018 American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons audience survey, over 40% of surgeon members were using the DAA as their preferred approach for total hip arthroplasty, with the numbers increasing yearly. Over 80% of the adult reconstruction fellows that we gradu ate now embrace the DAA and use it routinely on their patients. The early trickle of high-quality publications that demonstrate the superiority of DAA has now gained cadence and force in the literature.
the beneficiaries/users. Of course, not every innovation fulfills those criteria from the day it is launched. Every innovation undergoes many refinements and modifica tions. Only those that fulfill these criteria survive. I was an intern (house officer) in the United Kingdom when the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy was being performed. I remember we had all lined up to watch the surgery from the “gallery.” The procedure took 4.5 hours and calling the surgery smooth would be far from the truth. The patient stayed in the hospital for 11 days because she had developed postoperative ileus. The ini tial experience with laparoscopic procedures was far from perfect. The numerous “new” complications such as clip ping of bile ducts, liver laceration, and others were being described in case reports and case series. I recall watch ing debates on the podium, with one opponent of lap aroscopic cholecystectomy calling the procedure “a gift from hell.” The opponents of laparoscopy had the upper hand early on. The audience clapped and applauded the opponents of the procedure, and for the most part, the debates were considered a total win for those who opposed laparoscopic techniques. The concept and what it could bring to the patients was clearly a huge milestone in modern medicine. The innovators, those without fear, persevered and contin ued to innovate. They were able to divorce themselves from the emotions and seek a journey that would depart from the status quo. We all know where that story ends. Today, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed rou tinely as an outpatient procedure, and the lengthy sub costal incisions or the continued incisional pain is a phenomenon of the past. In fact, laparoscopic technique has become the new “standard of care” in general sur gery for nephrectomy, colectomy, bariatric surgery, and many other operations. There are many examples of such accomplish ments and quantum leaps in medicine and surgery. Endovascular technique is another such example. The disruptive nature of endovascular innovations changed the balance of surgical specialties. Many skeptics of
Even podium debates do not appear to be one sided any more. Many former opponents of the technique now realize the value of this surgical approach.

Foreword
the DAA to the hip, with reasoning discussed in detail by four expert surgeons in Chapter 3 within the first section of this textbook. Our informed patients continue to seek out surgeons who use this anatomic approach to the hip. The DAA in the world of hip reconstruction, much like laparoscopy and endovascular techniques in surgery, is here to stay. I want to congratulate Drs. Bal, Moskal, and Rubin for putting together this second-edition textbook publi cation. In doing so, they have compiled a great collection of chapters written by authorities in the field that captures
the broad value of the DAA for total hip arthroplasty. This scholarly work comprehensively presents unbiased and valuable perspectives related to the DAA to the hip. I am excited to have a copy of the book on my shelf. Our profession remains indebted to innovators who strive to better the lives of our patients.
