ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In a prospective, nonrandomized study the outcome in terms of rehabilitation and complications of total hip arthroplasty (THA) through a superior capsulotomy exposure (study group) was compared to THA performed through a direct lateral exposure (control group). PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
The study group (106 THA) and the control group (107 THA) were controlled for complexity and had no significant differences in age, sex, diagnosis, or body mass index.RESULTS:
The study group had improved recovery at 6 weeks after surgery which was statistically significant (p<0.001). In addition, the study group had a lower incidence of perioperative complications.CONCLUSION:
The current study demonstrates the potential that less-invasive surgical techniques with the philosophy of maximally preserving the abductors, posterior capsule, and short rotators may result in a safer operation with an accelerated recovery.
