Other: surgical approach
Registration Number
NCT03657953
Lead Sponsor
Technische Universität Dresden
Brief Summary

There exists only limited scientific evidence concerning medium- to long-term benefits concerning minimally invasive (MI) total hip arthroplasty (THA). The investigators examined in a randomized study design 157 patients 8 years after THA, which were performed via 3 different surgical approaches.

Detailed Description

In contrast to reported short-term advantages of minimally invasive (MI) total hip arthroplasty (THA) there exists only limited scientific evidence concerning medium- to long-term benefits.

The investigators therefore sought to answer the following questions: Is the functional medium-term outcome in THA patients with MI-anterior(MI-A) and MI-anterolateral (MI-AL) approach superior to those treated by direct lateral approach (DLA)? Is the level of life quality increased by MI-THA? Is patient satisfaction higher by MI-THA? Is the revision rate reduced by MI-THA?

anterior (MI-A) surgical approachsurgical approachThe minimally invasive anterior surgical approach was carried out using a modified Smith-Petersen access as described by Bender et al. (Bender et al. 2009) with the patient in supine position.
anterolateral (MI-AL) surgical approachsurgical approachFor the minimally invasive anterolateral surgical approach, a modified Watson-Jones approach according to Röttinger (Rottinger et al. 2006) was applied with the patient in supine position.
direct lateral (DLA) surgical approachsurgical approachThe direct lateral surgical approach was performed according to the technique described by Hardinge et al. (Hardinge et al. 1982) with the patient positioned supine
