A patient suffered from right hip osteoarthritis (a). Following the initial incision, two wing-tipped elevators were used to split the gluteus maximus muscle and expose the underlying gluteus medius muscle (b). Sequential femoral broaches were then used to complete preparation and size the proximal femoral canal (c); use an appropriately sized acetabular basket reamer to ream the acetabulum through the main incision and connected to the reamer drive shaft inserted through the cannula proximally into the main incision through a 1-cm incision located 1 to 2 cm posterior to the femur (d).
