Abstract
Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is generally considered to be one of the most successful orthopedic surgical procedures for patients with advanced osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip. In the past decade, a shift occurred in surgical approaches from the direct lateral and anterolateral approaches to the posterolateral (PLA) and direct anterior approach (DAA). Comparisons of the outcomes of the PLA and DAA approaches have so far mainly focused on complication and hip pain and function, showing that DAA patients have better early recovery, but similar outcomes at one year after surgery.
