Standardized placement of the skin incision in a 63 year old female patient (BMI > 40 kg/m2) undergoing hip replacement via the minimally-invasive direct anterior approach (a). Despite the presence of an enormously thick subcutaneous fat layer, the lateral border of the tensor fasciae latae muscle can be easily identified using the tensor fascia latae perforator (white arrow) (b)
