Abstract
The mini-posterior approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA) belongs to the mini-incision approaches. In comparison to standard approaches, less muscle trauma resulting in less pain, less blood loss and faster rehabilitation in the early postoperative period are attributed to this approach, as known for all other minimally invasive approaches. In a prospective study of 100 cases of THA it could be shown that this is true when comparing the mini-posterior approach with the posterolateral approach. Lower levels of muscle enzymes as a parameter for muscle trauma, could not be seen.
