A comparison of the minimally invasive dual intervention versus Posterolateral approach in total hip arthroplasty

This study compared a minimally invasive dual cut muscle-sparing surgical technique with a standard Posterolateral approach in total hip arthroplasty early complications to assess clinical success and alignment directly. Total hip Arthroplasties using a minimally invasive, muscle sparing, dual cut approach conducted on 21 hips (20 patients). This cohort was compared at a settlement payment group from 21 hips (20 patients) with a standard Posterolateral approach. Five complications have been reported for the dual cut group versus a complication for Posterolateral group. Postoperative radiological orientation of the prosthesis was closer optimally for the Posterolateral group. The dual cut Group had more uptime and a significant increase in complications. The authors have set use this technique based on the results of this study.
