Anterior versus posterior approach of total hip arthroplasty
Mahmoud El-Sayed Masoud;
Abstract
``The objective of this study is to compare the clinical, radiographic and surgical outcomes among patients undergoing primary THA performed via the anterior versus posterior approach.
We searched numerous sources and eventually included 17 studies, totaling 2302 participants. In terms of post-operative pain and function, the anterior approach was significantly favored in 4 studies at short-term follow-up. Pooled estimates showed a significant difference in favor of the anterior approach in terms of length of stay and dislocations. Current evidence comparing outcomes following anterior versus posterior THA does not demonstrate clear superiority of either approach.
Until more rigorous, randomized evidence is available, we recommend choice of surgical approach for THA be based on patient characteristics, surgeon experience and surgeon and patient preference``.
