Outcomes 8 Years After Minimal Invasive THA

Technische Universität Dresden157 enrolled

Overview

There exists only limited scientific evidence concerning medium- to long-term benefits concerning minimally invasive (MI) total hip arthroplasty (THA). The investigators examined in a randomized study design 157 patients 8 years after THA, which were performed via 3 different surgical approaches.

In contrast to reported short-term advantages of minimally invasive (MI) total hip arthroplasty (THA) there exists only limited scientific evidence concerning medium- to long-term benefits. The investigators therefore sought to answer the following questions: Is the functional medium-term outcome in THA patients with MI-anterior(MI-A) and MI-anterolateral (MI-AL) approach superior to those treated by direct lateral approach (DLA)? Is the level of life quality increased by MI-THA? Is patient satisfaction higher by MI-THA? Is the revision rate reduced by MI-THA?
