Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) Surgical Techniques Comparing the Direct Anterior Approach to the Posterior Approach

Osteoarthritis of the Hip Clinical Trial

Official title:
Prospective Randomized Single Center Clinical Evaluation of THA Surgical Techniques Comparing the Direct Anterior Approach to the Posterior Approach

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the short term effectiveness and return to function of subjects undergoing primary Total Hip Arthroplasty using an Anterior Approach (incision on the front part of the hip joint) versus Posterior Approach (incision over back part of the hip joint).

Clinical Trial Description

The anterior approach may provide better early post-operative outcomes because there are fewer muscles at the front of the hip so the surgeon works between them rather than cutting through muscle fibers. However, the anterior approach is more difficult to access so usually requires a specialized table.

The posterior approach is easier to access, but the incision cuts through muscle fiber. This may lengthen recovery time. However, a specialized table, which can be quite expensive, is often not required. ;
