Primary uses
What this instrument is on the table to do.
Direct anterior hip: a short-prong Mueller sits on the back rim of the acetabulum for reaming, held by the assistant or with weights. For the femur, a Mueller goes medial to expose the calcar, and the long-prong Mueller goes behind the top of the greater trochanter (in front of the gluteus medius) and is levered while the bone hook lifts the femur for broaching.
