Summary

Recent research has demonstrated that a hemiarthroplasty (replacement of half the joint) has lower rates of post-surgical complications than a total hip arthroplasty does. However, surgeons tend to vary in their approach to hemiarthroplasties. The lateral approach, which involves making an incision at the side of the patient's hip, requires surgeons to cut through the muscle to access the hip, which has been associated with greater muscle damage and slower rates of recovery. On the other hand, the direct anterior approach does not require the cutting of the patient's muscle and is therefore associated with minimal muscle damage and faster rates of recovery. This study will aim to assess the impact of the surgical approach (Direct Anterior Approach vs. Lateral approach) during hemiarthroplasty on patients' short-term mobility, quality of life, function, pain, and safety parameters.
