Anterior vs Posterior Approach in THA

Status Completed

Clinical Trial 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.

Clinical Trial Description

In this multicentric, prospective, randomized clinical trial, 55 total hip arthroplasties were performed on 50 patients between February 2011 and July 2013. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria underwent surgical treatment using the DAA or PA, according to a randomization process. Radiological analysis assessed implant position, limb lengthening, and potential implant related complications. X-rays were performed at subsequent follow-up visits and consisted of an antero-posterior (AP) pelvic X-ray and a lateral projection of the hip. Two independent observers, not involved with patients or surgeries, reviewed all postoperative radiographs independently.Two fellowship-trained surgeons in two separate hospitals performed all procedures. Both surgeons had previously performed over 100 cases with each approach, before initiating this study.

Patients underwent either the posterior or direct anterior approach. ;
