Abstract Background Several studies have compared clinical results of the direct anterior approach (DAA) and the posterolateral approach (PLA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA); however, the effect of the surgical approach on outcome of THA remains controversial. Most of these studies used two distinct groups of patients, and THAs were performed by different surgeons, using different designs of prosthesis. These confounding factors may limit the strength of the conclusions. The purpose of this prospective, simultaneous bilateral randomized study was to investigate whether patients would perceive the difference between the direct anterior approach (DAA) and the posterolateral approach (PLA) after THA. Materials and methods Among 20 patients scheduled to undergo same-day bilateral THA between October 2017 and August 2019, one hip was randomly assigned to DAA and the other to PLA. Patient-reported outcome measures [Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), patients’ hip pain on mobilization] and physician-assessed measures [Harris Hip Score (HHS), operative time, intraoperative blood loss, cup abduction, cup anteversion, stem orientation, and incidence of complications (intraoperative fracture, nerve damage, incisional problem, or postoperative dislocation)] were compared. Results All patients were followed up for 12 months. Hip pain was significantly less with DAA-THA compared with PLA-THA at postoperative 1, 3, and 7 days (p < 0.05). There was no clinical difference between DAA-THA and PLA-THA in terms of the VAS, HOOS, or HSS at 6 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively (p > 0.05). DAA-THA had a longer operative time and shorter length of incision compared with PLA-THA. There was no statistical difference between DAA-THA and PLA-THA in terms of intraoperative blood loss, cup abduction, cup anteversion, stem orientation, and perioperative complications (p > 0.05). Conclusions This study demonstrates that DAA-THA and PLA-THA could provide comparable HHS and HOOS at all follow-ups. Compared with PLA-THA, DAA-THA is associated with less hip pain within postoperative 7 days and shorter incision length, but longer operative time. Level of evidence Level I, therapeutic study.

Background: The direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) was originally performed with a supine patient on a specialised traction table, but the approach can also be performed on a standard operating table. Despite cost and safety implications, there are few studies directly comparing these techniques and table choice remains largely surgeon preference. The purpose of this review was to compare the clinical outcomes and complication profiles of traction and standard table DAA for primary THA. Methods: The authors searched databases for relevant studies, screening in duplicate. Study quality was assessed using MINORS criteria or Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. Data pertaining to patient demographics, clinical outcomes, and complications were abstracted. Results: Of 3085 initial titles, 44 studies containing a total 26,353 patients were included and analysed. Mean operative time was 70.9 ± 21.2 minutes for standard table ( n = 4402) and 100.1 ± 32.6 minutes for traction table ( n = 3518). Mean estimated blood loss was 382.3 ± 246.4 mL for standard ( n = 2992) and 531.7 ± 364.3 mL for traction table ( n = 2675). Intra-operative fracture rate was 1.3% for standard table ( n = 3940) and 1.7% for traction table ( n = 8386). Complication rates including revisions, dislocations and peri-prosthetic fractures were qualitatively similar between traction and standard table studies. Conclusion: Standard table and traction table DAA have similar outcomes and complications. Both techniques offer the short-term advantages of DAA when compared to other THA approaches. However, the standard table technique may offer perioperative advantages including decreased blood loss, shorter operative time, and fewer intraoperative fractures. In the context of rising global healthcare costs and lack of access to specialised orthopaedic traction tables, this review at minimum confirms the short-term safety of standard table DAA THA and prompts the need for future studies to directly compare these techniques.

Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-established procedure for advanced arthritis of the hip joint. It significantly improves the quality of life by relieving pain and improving functional disability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and functional outcome of primary total hip arthroplasty using the Harris Hip Score. Method: Prospective study was conducted in Civil Service Hospital. Out of 145 THA performed from Jan 2014 to Dec 2018, the first 100 cases that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were analyzed.  Patient demographic and site, operative indication, and pre-operative Harris Hip Score was documented. Operative time, total intraoperative blood loss, and complications were noted. Patients were followed in 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and yearly. In each visit, clinical evaluation using Harris Hip Score and radiological evaluation was done and documented. The duration of follow up ranged from 12 months to 4.5 years. Results: Age varied from 21 to 75 years, 59% were male and 41% female, right side involvement was seen in 55% and left side in 45%. The major indication for surgery was avascular necrosis 46% and primary osteoarthritis in 24%. The average operative time was 65 minutes and the average intraoperative blood loss was 655 ml. Pre-operative Harris Hip Score ranged from 25 to 59 with a mean of 45.5. The mean Harris hip score in last follow up increased to 90.5 with a minimum of 76 and a maximum of 97. Our study found that 85% had excellent, 9% had good and 6% had fair results. Complications include 2% dislocation, 1% infection, 1% greater trochanter avulsion and 1% screw irritation. Conclusion: Primary THA is a safe and effective procedure. It improves pain and function hence improving the activity of daily living and has fewer complications.

Abstract BackgroundLess invasive hip-preserving surgery (LIHP) is an effective treatment in delaying total hip arthroplasty (THA) for young patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). But the success rate of it was not as effective as expected and were significantly reduced with the advancement of the diseases stages. Therefore, it is essential to analysis the impact of LIHP on subsequent THA.MethodsThe search language was restricted to Chinese and English, and the references of included studies were also searched. Chinese databases including CNKI, Wan-Fang databases and VIP, and English databases including PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library were searched by the computer from the inception of each database to 23rd May 2021. The outcome indicators were extracted from the included literature and analyzed by Cochrane Collaboration Review Manager software (RevMan version 5.4). The quality of the studies was scored using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS).ResultsA total of nine articles met the inclusion and were included in this meta-analysis, two of them were published in Chinese and the remaining studies were published in English. Results showed that the LIHP group has longer operative time (SMD=17.31, 95%CI=6.29 to 28.32, p=0.002), more intraoperative blood loss (SMD=79.90, 95%CI=13.92 to 145.87, p=0.02) and higher rate of varus or valgus femoral stem (OR=4.17, 95%CI=1.18 to 14.71, p=0.03) compared to primary THA group. The risk of intraoperative fracture was higher in the prior LIHP THA group compared with primary THA group but the difference was not statistically significant (OR=5.88, 95%CI=0.93 to 37.05, p=0.06). While there was no significant difference in cup anteversion angle (SMD=-0.10, 95%CI=-0.61 to 0.41, p=0.70), cup inclination angle (SMD=0.58, 95%CI=-0.05 to 1.22, p=0.07), postoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS) (SMD=-0.01, 95%CI=-0.43 to 0.46, p=0.96) and survivorship (OR=1.38, 95%CI=0.34 to 5.55, p=0.65) between THA groups with and without prior LIHP.ConclusionAlthough the prior LIHP increased the difficulty of the conversion to THA with longer operative time, more intraoperative blood loss, and higher rate of intraoperative fracture, it does not detrimentally affect the clinical results of subsequent THA in the mid-term following-up.

Introduction: When the postoperative outcome of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) was compared with the direct anterior approach (DAA) and the posterior approach (PA), there was no significant difference of the clinical outcome at 6 months to 1 year after surgery in many studies. This study was performed to compare the medium-term outcome of THA via the DAA or PA and clarify which approach achieves better quality of life (QOL). Methods: We investigated 61 hips receiving primary THA (30 via DAA and 31 via PA), using hip function scores such as the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and patient-reported outcomes such as the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ), and the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS). Results: The mean duration of postoperative follow-up was 36.8 months in the DAA group and 40.5 months in the PA group. There was no difference in preoperative or postoperative HHS between the two groups. Although there was no difference of postoperative WOMAC and JHEQ, the postoperative FJS-12 score was significantly higher in the DAA group than in the PA group (75.2 ± 15.9 versus 60.1 ± 24.4, p = 0.01). Conclusion: When forgetting the artificial joint in daily life is the target, better QOL can be achieved by performing THA via the DAA.

Abstract Background: It is still not known whether tranexamic acid is beneficial for the minimally invasive surgical approach to total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study seeks to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) in primary THA via the direct anterior approach (DAA). Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on 70 patients with non-traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the DAA between October 2017 and October 2018. Patients were divided into two groups: TXA group (39 patients who did receive 1.5g TXA intravenously) and control group (31 patients who did not receive TXA). Patients were assessed by the operative time, postoperative hemoglobin (HB) drop, transfusion rate, postoperative length of hospital stays (LHS), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and Harris hip score (HHS).Results: The total blood loss, hidden blood loss, and postoperative HB drop in the TXA group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in terms of intraoperative blood loss, operation time, transfusion rate, postoperative LHS, HHS, and the incidence of DVT between the two groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: TXA may be reduce perioperative blood loss and not increase complications, in THA via the DAA.

Abstract Background This study was performed to compare the advantage and disadvantage of posterolateral approach (PLA) and direct anterior approach (DAA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods Relevant trials were identified via a search of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and PubMed from inception to 1 June 2019. A meta-analysis was performed to compare postoperative perioperative and radiographic outcomes between DAA and PLA in THA with respect to the hospital stay, blood loss, incision length, operative time, complications, and femoral and cup component position. The Harris Hip Score (HHS) was also assessed before and after 6 months postoperatively. Results Nine eligible studies involving 22698 adult patients (DAA group, n = 2947; PLA group, n = 19751) were identified for analysis. Compared with the PLA group, the DAA group had shorter hospital stay and achieved better HHS within 6 months after operation (P < 0.05), but the HHS was no significant differences between the two groups over 6 months (P > 0.05). The DAA group had significantly longer operative time, more blood loss, and complications than the PLA group (P < 0.05). In addition, the femoral component positioned in neutral and cup component inclination angle was comparable between both groups (P > 0.05); however, cup component anteversion angle was significantly larger in the PLA group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Patients in the DAA group had higher HHS within 6 months and shorter hospital stay. The DAA could offer rapid early functional recovery after THA compared with the PLA. However, the DAA group often required longer operative time and had more blood loss. Furthermore, there was a higher early complication rate. Therefore, we believe that the direct anterior approach was a more difficult technique. The surgeon should be a well-trained joint surgeon with extensive prior hip replacement experience before performing THA through a DAA, and DAA was not suitable for beginners performing THA. In addition, we did not observe the difference with regard to the femoral component position and cup component inclination angle except for the smaller cup component anteversion angle in DAA group.

Abstract Background There are many surgical approaches for total hip arthroplasty. In recent years, direct anterior approach (DAA) has been highly praised by many scholars, and it has been widely reported that it has a good curative effect, such as fast recovery. Whether the surgical results and patient satisfaction can reach or exceed the traditional posterolateral approach has been controversial. We hypothesized that the treatment outcome of the direct anterior approach (DAA) approach is superior to the traditional posterolateral approach (PLA). Methods From January 2015 to April 2017, 20 patients (40 hips) were randomly divided into posterolateral approach (PLA) group and direct anterior approach (DAA) group. Record the operation time on both sides, postoperative drainage, prosthesis position, and complications, the functional recovery of hip joint was evaluated by D'Aubigne-Postel score, and the postoperative pain was evaluated by VAS score. Gait parameters were measured before surgery and at 3 and 6 months after surgery, and the patients were asked which side they preferred subjectively after surgery. Results When compared with the PLA group, the DAA group had a shorter incision length (11.4 vs 14.72 cm, P<0.001), shorter intraoperative blood loss (184.05vs 219.00 mL, P<0.001), shorter postoperative drainage volume (105.35 vs 154.10 mL, P<0.001), and lower VAS scores. However, the PLA had shorter operative times (82.20 vs 67.3 min, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in acetabular inclination (39.72 vs 40.92 °, P=0.069), and acetabular anteversion (17.41 vs 17.69°, P=0.663) between the two groups. Joint function recovery: The D'Aubigne-Postel scores of the hip joints in the DAA group vs PLA group at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery were (8.2, 11.5, 16.5) vs (7.65, 11.45, 16.9). The difference in the 1, 3month was statistically significant (P=0.012, P=0.038), however, this difference disappeared in the 6th month(P=0.072). Conclusions Compared with the PLA, the DAA has the advantages of shorter operation time, smaller incision, less bleeding, less pain, better gait performance and faster recovery of joint function, but patients subjectively preferred the traditional PLA.

Introduction: The direct anterior approach (DAA) has gained popularity in recent years for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Several authors reported significantly better early outcomes when compared to the posterior approach (PA). Nevertheless, controversy exists regarding longer-term benefits of the DAA. Methods: Data was prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed for primary THAs conducted between July 2008 and July 2016. Patients who underwent DAA and PA with minimum 2-year follow-up for Harris Hip Score (HHS), Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12), Veteran RAND 12 Mental (VR-12 Mental), Veteran RAND 12 Physical (VR-12 Physical), 12-Item Short Form Survey Mental (SF-12 Mental), 12-Item Short Form Survey Physical (SF-12 Physical), visual analogue scale, and patient satisfaction were included. Propensity score matching was performed on the DAA and PA cohorts (1:1) based on the following variables: age, sex, body mass index, and laterality. Results: 205 DAA hips were satisfactorily matched to 205 PA hips. The DAA group had higher scores at final follow-up for VR-12 Mental ( p = 0.0145), VR-12 Physical ( p = 0.0236), SF-12 Mental ( p = 0.0393), and SF-12 Physical ( p = 0.0391). The DAA and PA groups had comparable HHS ( p = 0.0737) and FJS-12 ( p = 0.2900). Conclusions: Although the DAA and PA groups had different follow-up periods, both the DAA and PA groups reported favourable outcomes at minimum 2-year follow-up. While both groups achieved comparable scores for the majority of PROs including VAS and patient satisfaction, the DAA group achieved superior quality of life outcomes when compared with a propensity score matched group of PA surgeries.
