Quicker functional recovery at 6 weeks using direct anterior vs. posterior approach in THA .
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.
Comparison of Patient Function during the First Six Weeks after Direct Anterior or Posterior Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA): A Randomized Study
J Arthroplasty. 2015 Sep;30(9 Suppl):94-756 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) were randomized to undergo THA using either a direct anterior approach or posterior approach. The purpose of the study was to determine if the direct anterior approach resulted in improved early functional recovery compared to the posterior approach. The primary outcome of interest was time until discontinuation of an assistive ambulatory device. Results showed that patients treated with a direct anterior approach had significantly shorter use of an assistive ambulatory device, shorter hospital stay, and less post-surgical pain as compared to patients being treated with a posterior approach. No significant differences in other measures of functional outcome were noted.
