Introduction:To report outcomes and complications from a modified anterolateral minimal invasive surgery (ALMIS) approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patients and methods: All patients undergoing THA through ALMIS approach during a seven-year period were retrospectively evaluated. Results: One hundred fifty-four patients with a mean follow-up of 4.6 years were studied. The mean Harris hip score was found to be 91.1. A number of complications were recorded, including two cases (1.3%) of greater avulsion trochanter, one case (0.6%) of femur fractures, 12 (7.8%) cases of Trendelenburg sign and 12 cases of heterotopic ossification. Conclusions: This approach offers good visualization during acetabulum and femur preparation and excellent clinical results during mid-term follow-up.
