Surgical Approach Comparisons in Total Hip Arthroplasty

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Total Hip Arthroplasty

Abstract

This article comprises a variety of comparisons between the several approaches employed for total hip arthroplasty (THA), highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses attributed to each approach. Moreover, it provides additional information regarding staged and simultaneous bilateral THA, as well as the most suitable methods for the treatment of femoral fractures in the elderly. Most of the comparisons included in this work provide details that juxtapose one of the most utilized surgical approaches, the DAA, with other conventional approaches and novel technique of supercapsular percutaneously assisted approach (SuperPATH). Additionally, we provide information on comparisons of the relative outcomes of conventional approaches and robotic THA, as well as an examination of the capsulectomy and capsulotomy techniques.
