Akhil Sastry, MD, was invited to teach the anterior approach to total hip arthroplasty at the Homer Stryker Center in Las Vegas, according to a Fosters report.
Here are three points:
1. Dr. Sastry is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon providing care at Portsmouth N.H.-based Atlantic Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine.
2. This is the second time he has been invited to teach the course on the procedure.
3. The direct anterior hip replacement surgery uses a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing approach.
