Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the dislocation rate between total hip arthroplasty (THA) via direct anterior approach (DAA) and via posterior approach (PA). Methods: We compared a consecutive series of 139 THAs via DAA with 177 THAs via PA. All study patients received ceramic-on-ceramic bearing surfaces and similar uncemented prostheses. Dislocation-free survival after THA was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier survival method and compared between groups using the log-rank test. Results: In the DAA group, none of 139 hips experienced dislocations in five-year-average follow-up. In the PA group, seven hips experienced dislocations among 177 hips (4 %). The dislocation was significantly less in the DAA group compared to the PA group (p = 0.033). Conclusion: The dislocation rate of THA via DAA was significantly less than that of THA via PA.

The aim of this study was to investigate the radiological and clinical outcome of the direct anterior approach (DAA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a collared cementless femoral short-stem. This retrospective study included 124 patients with 135 THAs operated from 2014 to 2016 using a collared cementless triple tapered hydroxyapatite-coated femoral short-stem (AMIStem H Collared®, Medacta International, Castel San Pietro, Switzerland) implanted with a DAA. Follow-up was performed at three months, 12 months, and five years. Clinical outcome was assessed using the hip osteoarthritis outcome score (HOOS) and radiological analysis was done using conventional radiographs, which included evaluation of the femur morphology based on Dorr classification, of radiolucencies based on the Gruen zone classification and of stem subsidence. The mean age was 67.7 ± 11.3 years and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 27.4 ± 4.4 kg/m2. The stem survival rate at five years was 99.1% with one revision due to recurrent dislocations. Mean HOOS score improved from 40.9 ± 18.3 preoperatively to 81.5 ± 19.7 at three months, 89.3 ± 10.9 at 12 months, and 89.0 ± 14.0 at five years (all with p < 0.001). No significant correlations were found between age, femoral bone morphology, BMI and HOOS, and the appearance of relevant radiolucencies.

AbstractThe cementless, tapered wedge, short femoral stem implant is commonly used in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA). The lack of access and visualization, however, may increase the risk of perioperative fracture and early failure. Therefore, the current study examined perioperative complications and 2-year implant survivorship following DAA THA performed using a fracture table and short, tapered wedge femoral stem. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients having undergone DAA THA with a cementless, tapered wedge, short femoral stem. Perioperative fractures were noted and survivorship was determined by the incidence of revision surgery within a minimum 2-year follow-up period. A total 366 consecutive patients (441 hips) were identified in the cohort. Four patients (6 hips; 1.4%) were lost to follow-up and three patients died from unrelated causes. Average follow-up time for the remaining 359 patients (435 hips) was 32.9 ± 10.2 months. There were no intraoperative factures but three perioperative fractures within two weeks. Aseptic loosening occurred in one stem at 13 months, resulting in a 99.1% survival rate with a mean survival time of 23.8 ± 0.1 months (95% confidence interval: 23.6–24.0 months). The use of a short, tapered wedge femoral stem and a fracture table for DAA THA resulted in 0.7% periprosthetic fractures and only one aseptic loosening within 2 years. These results suggest that proper femoral exposure with the use of a fracture table and a short, tapered wedge femoral stem does not appear to increase the risk of periprosthetic femoral fracture.

Introduction: Compared to a lateral or posterior approach (PA), the direct anterior approach (DAA) does permit a better muscle preservation for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, there is concern whether this advantage come with increased wound complication and infection leading to reoperation or sometimes major procedures. Method: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent primary THA through the PA between January 2009 and April 2013 ( n = 796) and through the DAA between January 2011 and April 2013 ( n = 399) at our institution with a minimum of 2 years follow up regarding all wound complications and all infections. Results: Of the 796 patients in the PA group, there were 6 wound complications leading to reoperation and 6 infections; 4 early and 2 delayed onset. Among the infected cases, one was obese (body mass index [BMI] >30 kg/m2). Two procedures were teaching-based. Of the 399 patients in the DAA group, there were three dehiscences leading to reoperation, two of which were in obese patients. 6 infections were also found; 4 with early and 2 with delayed onset. Of the infected cases, three were obese. 4 procedures were teaching-based. Conclusion: In our series of patients undergoing THA, the DAA did not increase the rates of either wound complications leading to reoperation nor early or delayed infection compared to the PA.
