Comparison of Three Different Surgical Approaches on the Functional Outcome After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aimed to determine differences in functional recovery after total hip arthroplasty between a group of patients operated on using a direct lateral approach, an anterolateral minimally invasive approach, and a posterior approach to the hip joint.
Arthroplasty is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in orthopedics and is also considered the gold standard for treating the final stage of osteoarthritis. There are several different approaches, but there are still conflicting studies that talk about the benefits of a particular approach. There is an insufficient number of scientific, prospective studies that monitor the basic functional and rehabilitation parameters, which are also indicators of the success of the performed procedure.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Functional recovery after total hip arthroplasty / Range of motion [2 years]
Investigators analyze active and passive range of motion (ROM) measured in degrees.
- Functional recovery after total hip arthroplasty / Walking speed [2 years]
Investigators analyze walking speed in seconds for the 50 meters long walk.
- Functional recovery after total hip arthroplasty / Harris Hip Score [2 years]
Investigators take a questionnaire (Harris Hip Score, HHS), the maximum point is 100.
- Functional recovery after total hip arthroplasty / Hip abductors strength [2 years]
Investigators analyze hip abductors strength measured with a dynamometer in kilograms (kg).
