Abstract
Comparison of primary total hip replacements performed with a direct anterior approach versus the standard lateral approach: perioperative findings
Highlights
(198 patients: Bauer’s standard lateral approach and spinal or general anesthesia) and group B (221 patients: minimally invasive direct anterior approach and general anesthesia)
We always use hemispherical cups coupled with different types of stems
In the majority of cases we used straight stems followed by anatomical stems, while lately we have started to use short stems that are expressly designed for minimally invasive access
