Summary

It has been reported that the operative approaches have an effect on clinical outcome in total hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this prospective study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes between anterolateral approach and posterolateral approach in total hip arthroplasty.

Conditions

  • Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip

Interventions

PROCEDURE

surgical approach

Using a gluteus maximus split, the posterolateral approach remains posterior to the gluteus medius and minimus. Exposure of the hip and proximal femur requires division of the posterior hip capsule and the external rotators. The exposure and dislocation are completed with flexion and internal rotation of the femur. After arthroplasty, the external rotators and posterior capsule was routinely repaired using a heavy absorbable suture.

PROCEDURE

modified lateral approach

The operative technique described modified lateral approach as described by Mulliken et al.
