THA: Superior early outcomes with direct anterior compared to postero-lateral 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.
Prospective Randomized Study of Direct Anterior vs Postero-Lateral Approach for Total Hip Arthroplasty
J Arthroplasty. 2013 Oct;28(9):1634-887 patients undergoing a non-cemented primary total hip arthroplasty for non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD) were randomized to comparatively evaluate the efficacy of the direct anterior approach (DAA) compared to the postero-lateral approach (PA), over 12 months. Patients were primarily assessed for the ability to climb stairs normally and walk unlimited, along with several other secondary outcomes. The evidence presented in this study demonstrated that the direct anterior approach in total hip arthroplasty resulted in superior early outcomes in terms of reduced pain and improved mobility, when compared to the posterior-lateral approach.
