Direct anterior hip replacement trochanter securement apparatus

A direct anterior hip replacement trochanter securement apparatus comprising:

• a trochanter engager positionable to engage a trochanter of a femur of a person from an anterior position, wherein the trochanter engager includes:
• (i) a trochanter gripper including:
• (a) a connector defining a plurality of internal suture passageways, the connector configured to extend across a medial interior portion of the trochanter,
• (b) first teeth at a first end of the connector and configured to engage an anterior portion of the trochanter, and
• (c) second teeth at a second end of the connector and configured to engage a posterior portion of the trochanter, and
• (ii) a first suture, a second suture, a third suture, and a fourth suture each configured to extend through respective ones of the plurality of internal suture passageways defined by the connector to hold the trochanter gripper in place on the trochanter, at least two of the first suture, the second suture, the third suture, and the fourth suture being separate sutures;
• an implant connector configured to securely connect first portions of the first suture, the second suture, the third suture, and the fourth suture of the trochanter engager to an implant in the femur;
• and
• a trochanter engager securer separate from the trochanter engager and positionable on the femur at a point along the femur below the trochanter without engaging the trochanter and configured to receive and securely be connected to second portions of the first suture, the second suture, the third suture, and the fourth suture of the trochanter engager.
