Subjects and methods: We studied data on 69 patients (76 hips) who underwent anterior total hip arthroplasty with uncemented components using modified fracture table at Hue Central Hospital from 2010 - 2016. The operative parameters, complications, radiographic imaging (with TraumaCad software) were assessed. Functional outcomes were measured using the Harris hip score. Results: The mean age of patients was ± years (range 23 - 74), mean blood loss was ± mL (range 65 - 630) and the mean incision length was ± cm (range 7 - 10 cm). The postoperative radiographic outcomes showed an average acetabular abduction was ± (range 30 - 650), cup 0 0 anteversion was ± (range 4 - 28 ). The mean Harris hip score ± (range 83 - 96). Especially, no complications on orthopedic surgical table using have been reported. Conclusions: The anterior approach on the orthopaedic table performed by experienced surgeons is a minimally invasive technique applicable to all primary hip patients. This technique allows accurate and reproducible component positioning and does not increase the rate of hip dislocation. Therefore we state that the minimal invasive anterior approach is safe and lead to advantages for the patients and using of the orthopaedic table improves femoral access. * Keywords: Total hip arthroplasty; Anterior approach; Minimal invasive. INTRODUCTION In the past decades, the mini-invasive anterior approach to the hip for total hip arthroplasty has become more popular and is of greast interest to surgeons and patients, with the goal of improving early recovery parameters [1]. It utilizes .
