No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Determining the best approach for a total hip arthroplasty (THA) implies that the procedure is kind on soft tissues, with the lowest complication rates, and easily reproducible. Although there have been several attempts to resolve this issue in the last decade, a definitive answer has not been found. Therefore, the investigators performed a prospective study to compare direct anterior versus posterior approach based on (1) hospital stay, (2) functional outcome, (3) pain, (4) implant position (5) complications and (6) surgical time.
