Abstract
80 total hip endoprostheses with antero-lateral (Watson-Johnes) approach are compared with 77 total hip endoprostheses with transgluteal approach (Bauer) after a period of at least one year after the operation. In all cases a cementless implanted model has been used. After transgluteal approach we found less bleeding and hematoma, but slight increased periarticular ossifications. The clinical results (pain, range of motion, distance walked, walking aid, manner of walking) were only a little different. For the technic of implantation of the cementless endoprosthesis the transgluteal approach seems to be more useful.
