The ABLE Approach

The ABLE Advanced Anterior Approach is a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing approach with no barriers to adoption, complementing a value-based system of limiting healthcare spend while supporting patient outcomes and recovery.1

The approach was first described by Sayre in 1854 who used the Tensor Fasciae Lata (TFL)/gluteus medius interval for the treatment of septic hip arthritis in a 9-year-old patient.2 It has since been modified, first by Watson-Jones3 and more recently by Bertin and Rottinger,1 who used the lateral decubitus position with the surgeon standing in front of the patient.
