Improvements in pain and function greater in anterior approach THA than posterior approach .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Anterior vs. Posterior Approach for Total Hip Arthroplasty, a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
J Arthroplasty. 2015 Mar;30(3):419-34.17 studies, including 2 randomized controlled trials, were selected for this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the efficacy of anterior approach primary total hip arthroplasty to posterior approach. This review was conducted in order to evaluate and compare surgical and clinical results between these two approaches. The results of this study indicate that the anterior approach offered greater progress in pain, function, ability to walk, and narcotic ingestion, as compared to the posterior approach. No significant differences were noted in other variables, including estimated blood loss, rate of intraoperative fractures or recovery of gait.
