Rubin_The Direct Anterior Approach to Hip Reconstruction, 2e

xiii

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.
